BEL CANTO DAC 2.5 e.One + PreAmp Black Face 9/10 1st Owner

I am the original owner of this remarkable DAC, bought locally in San Francisco at a popular dealer's (I have receipts) "brick and mortar" store a little over 2 years ago. It has the Black face plate, which I prefer and is more difficult to find on the used market.

-Bel Canto engineer and CEO, John Stronczer, has designed a Class D unit that also embodies highly detailed music, balance from top to bottom, high dynamic range, and a general smoothness that ties everything together. 
* This is a DAC/processor, which has a built-in Digital Preamp with volume control, and the volume is adjusted in the digital realm, so there is less distortion than in a traditional analog product. 
** The unit also has a linear dedicated headphone amp with separate power supply. 
*** Other capabilities include R/L balancing, Phase Inversion, HTB/Home Theater Bypass .... done on the fly in your listening chair via the remote control
*** Inputs on the back of the unit: 1 USB, 2 SPDIF/RCA, 1 AES/BEU, 1 Toslink 
*** Outputs: 1 pair of RCA and 1 pair of XLR. The XLR outs are 4V RMS, so have good power. I used XLRs to run straight into my amplifier, and used the Bel Canto DAC as a PreAmp as well, with great success. This combo has an incredible clean and fast sound.   ***No BS, you won't believe how quiet the background is. I know you may not believe me, so I'm going to say it again: Background = inky black, NO BS.

-Please See other Specs from the Bel Canto website: they are pretty impressive
-I am moving and need to raise funds, sorry no trades.  

 *I will pay Shipping fees to the lower 48 if the buyer buys at my asking price. Otherwise, we can split the PayPal and Shipping fees. 
If I can't sell at this price then I will just keep the unit. My asking price is less than half at the asking price. I've lost a lot of money over the years buying and selling equipment and thats fine, its part of the hobby and thats my choice. But this unit is certainly worth more than my asking price, its too bad more folks aren't familiar with Bel Canto products. Your ears will thank you. 

thanks
