You're looking at a gentle used Eastern Electric Minimax Dac Plus for sale by the original owner. I purchased the unit directly from Morningstar Audio. I will include several upgraded Op-Amps and NOS tubes below as part of the sale (in addition the the original Op-Amps & tube that come with the unit):
- For U1 & U2 positions : one pair of OPA2604, one pair of dual-LME49990 on Brown Dog adapter, one pair of NE5534
- For U3 & U4 positions : one pair of AD797, one pair of LME49990 on Brown Dog adapter, one pair of NE5532
- Tubes : NOS RCA 5963, RCA 6189, original Eastern Electric 12AU7 (new, not used at all)
The unit is in excellent condition. There is one small nick and a few very faint scratches on the top-plate (it's difficult to show that in the pictures, as it's really minor). The front panel is perfect. I used this DAC with USB connection to Squeezebox Touch running EDO with great result. Here is the link on how to do that:

You've to hear the sound to appreciate on how much you can get out of this budget DAC. It's very smooth, almost analog like with plenty of details and air around the instruments. The 24b/192K materials play through this DAC is stunning. I'm only selling it because I upgraded to a much more expensive Esoteric P-05/D-05 transport & DAC combo ($16,000), as the DAC plus w/upgrades is comparable to most of the DAC in the sub $3000 range. With the Op-Amp and Tube rolling, you can tailor the sound of the DAC to match your system. This DAC is hard to beat at its price.
There are plenty of on-line reviews which you can read through.
