Further information: 

Bought off another member a few weeks ago to compare to my old Usb Dac. I can tell it's superior to my old dac in every way despite my equipment not being good enough to fully take advantage of it. 

 

I just prefer my old DACs sound that makes all music have a similar flavour and makes my bad quality songs sound better. I also don't have enough high quality digital source files to take advantage of the da004

 

Will throw in a pair of 80cm Swamp balanced XLR cables. 

 

Below is copy and paste from the original post. 

 

Purchased from ShenzhenAudio in July 2020 - 

Current price for the upgraded usb model is $2200 I believe. 

 

Free shipping included but buyer pays insurance if wanted. 

 

Not particularly well known in Oz I don't think but absolutely packed with features - a full dual mono design with dual ES9038pro chips.  This version features the optional upgraded USB interface which includes an upgraded power supply and 2 x Crystek CCHD-957 active clock and supports DSD up to 512k.  Comes in original box, has remote and will throw in a free unopened Supra 2m USB cable so the new owner can enjoy the amazing sound.

A quote from one user review

 

"OK, so the nitty gritty. I have TWO of them in two systems and could not be happier. I had foolishly jumped in and paid even more for a Schiit YGGDRASIL until I received an LKS MH-DA004 and the difference in audio quality was obvious. So I sold the YGGDRASIL and purchased a second LKS. Note, the YGGDRASIL DAC is a fine unit, but the LKS is better. Cleaner reproduction generally on classical music, particularly with larger ensembles where the LKS reveals more detail of the individual instruments playing, has more air and delicacy and eliminates traces of digital harshness"
