Hi-Fi Whipped Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Price: $ Item Condition: As New Shipping Options: Pickup available but audition is not available.,Pickup available and you can audition. Suburb or Town: Sunshine Coast State: Queensland Payment Method: Paypal+3%, Bank Transfer, Cash on Collection Reason for selling: Great Product, it's just me! Can Ship to most cities for $30.00 Further information: RRP$2599 3 weeks old, AS NEW Impeccable condition with all accessories most still in the plastic, suit new buyers. You can see my posts in the owners thread about how I found the C658 in use. But basically this thing is extremely powerful, Dirac is a game changer for sure and it seamlessly integrated my subs with my fronts which was the main reason I purchased it, so that box was ticked. For years I have listened to my music without any eq or bass or treble, I've been all about tweaking placement of speakers etc. to get the most out of my gear. The eq capabilities on this thing are insane, you seriously feel like you have your own recording studio, you can tweak the sound to within an inch of its life which for some would be heaven, but for me its made me a little obsessive compulsive! I know for a fact that if I invested more time in getting the sound right I would definitely get there but given where I've come from I'm making a gut call early and going back to the basics. What that is I'm not entirely sure at this stage but will see if this gets snapped up and go from there. Anyone that's ever brought things from me knows I look after my gear probably better than my kids so be assured this unit is in impeccable condition, not a mark on it, and comes from a smoke free home. WARRANTY - Balance of 2 year warranty (Owned for 3 weeks) will be transferred to new owner.

Yes I did mate and unfortunately doesn't appear to be transferable, but I'm sure we may be able to work out a way for the new purchaser to trial it on my account?? Would need to look into it.

Wouldn't want to knock those speakers over getting a glass of water in the middle of the night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be either. I used it as a DAC with fixed volume output into my AVR, others use it as a standalone DAC/Pre and use the Variable volume of the Nad to control a power amp. Sorry, when I said "powerful" I meant feature packed! Edited March 6, 2020 by Hi-Fi Whipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s that easy the value just went up another AUD$150 and my asking price will remain the same! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Caesar Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Believe me I'd love to take this but aside from the SWMBO issue (which i could handle) there is now the stockmarket in free fall so Hi-Fi has to wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpr_65 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I noted in the pics you have the fixed volume level set at 0db which is way above the -20db recommended setting. 0db will introduce some pretty nasty distortion levels. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
