Berkeley Audio Designs BADA Alpha DAC Series II - 230V

Selling the famous Berkeley Audio Designs Alpha DAC series II (original, not upgraded). Only 6-months old ! As new condition - not a single scratch or blemish. This is the latest version, with the latest specs (serial # 1515).

I'm asking $4150. The DAC retails in the EU for $6200.

The Absolute Sound 2012 Digital Product of the Year !

This is what the Editor-in-Chief of The Absolute Sounds Robert Harley uses in his reference system, driving direct his Spectral DMA-360mk II monoblocks (the DAC has variable output). Pls read the glowing TAS review - it is available online.

Robert Harley from The Absolute Sound:
“The Alpha DAC Series 2 would have received my highest recommendation had it cost $15,000. Yes, it sounds that good. That it sells for $4995 qualifies as a minor miracle.”

The Computer Audiophile C.A.S.H. list:
“The Alpha DAC is simply stunning. The Berkeley Audio Design team is one of the most respected in the industry. At $5,000 the Alpha DAC is a high-end audio bargain … could honestly sell for twice or three times the price. Every Alpha DAC owner and audiophile I've talked to who has heard the DAC has been very impressed. In a recent DAC shootout the Alpha DAC took first place hands down … my reference DAC for the foreseeable future.”

Original 230V version. As new condition.
