Selling my Ayon Audio NW-T/DSD Vacuum Tube Network Transport (RRP $8395). I am the first owner and bought this unit in January 2020. The NW-T is the only vacuum tube based, Pure CLASS A Network Player in production anywhere. It has a warm analog tube sound, it is perfect for any digital file listening. It has the DSD upgrade Kit fitted. The unit has a small scratch on the RH, the rest is perfect.
The NW-T network playe is a new outstanding design which includes a Network-Transport with its “tube buffered digital output stage” and an Analog/Digital converter (ADC). The Network-Transport can be connected with any external DAC or CD-player with a digital input (DAC section). Furthermore its built-in ADC can be used to convert analog signals (e.g. of a phono-stage) into digital signals or into FLAC files respectively and to store them afterwards in an NAS. Special attention was paid to the tube-power supply and the digital output signal, because this digital interface is significantly involved to achieve "analog-magic" sound properties in the external DAC to a large extent. The NW-T was designed to maintain all advantages of a tube (in the power supply as well as in the digital output stage) in combination with streaming. The NW-T uniquely unifies both and offers a new dimension of sound far above its class.

Power Supply
The power supplies have been further refined with new components and enhanced AC line noise filtration. Separate power transformer windings and filters provide total isolation between the input and output stage which makes this a pure power source and it is a critical attribute for a 6H30 output stage. We also use electrolytic capacitors with much larger storage capacity to make up for the loss in filtering when using resistors in lieu of inductors.
Dual R-Core / Low noise – insulated power transformers for digital & vacuum tube separated
Innovative power supply provides a high speed energy delivery on transients
Separate and isolated power supplies over each stage of amplification
AC power line filter to avoid noise and hash from entering into the unit.
Tube rectification for tube buffered digital output stage
8 separate voltage regulators
Components
The type of parts used therefore must have a synergistic relationship to the circuit they are placed in. It is this relationship of which type of part to use where, that ranks our products apart from the mass.
Selected, premium quality passive components used in all applications
High speed & high quality audiophile grade capacitors
High quality special tube sockets with gold pins
High quality – RCA, BNC & XLR jack
