Concert Fidelity DAC-040 in excellent condition. Very low hours and just broken-in. This unit is in 220V. I am the second owner having purchased it from the original owner who put in less than a 100 hours.
Plenty of accolades already garnered, so this DAC has proven itself to be one of the very best tube NOS DACs out in the market.
There is a very attractive factory upgrade option to the latest battery powered DAC-040BD. I wrote to Concert Fidelity seeking more information and they informed me that one can get this DAC fully upgraded to what would be basically a brand new one of the latest battery powered version. Here's what I was informed by Masataka Tsuda at CF:
"...we exchange all the parts except a vacuum tube power supply printed circuit board. The inside of the product becomes brand-new...Parts recyclable from old DAC are only power supply printed circuit boards. So, It is the same as making a 040BD DAC newly..."
And if you choose to upgrade, voltage conversion to 115V will not entail any additional cost.
I AM OFFERING THIS DAC AT LESS THAN WHAT IT WOULD COST FOR THE UPGRADE.
Thus, for an all-in cost that is a little above half the price of a new DAC-040BD (new list $12,000), one can own what is basically a brand new DAC-040BD which is the latest battery-powered version.
Will include
**matched pair early NOS Tesla ECC802S yellow lettering -- these are the rarest and finest Tesla ECC802S tubes from the early 1960s, and most likely the best sounding 12AU7 type along with the legendary Telefunken ECC802S.
**matched pair Valvo ECC82 labelled Philips Made in Holland, rich and dynamic sounding.
**matched pair Toshiba 13D5A Pinnacle -- these are lesser known but are the finest Japanese 12AU7 type, very open and transparent sounding.
**NOS Mullard EZ 81 labelled Telefunken
**stock JJ EZ81 rectifier
