Complete Buffalo kit, setup and running, just needs a nice box. This DAC will blow your socks off,it uses the Sabre DAC found in high end equipment. MCINTOSH MCD500 Reference player. I have completely switched to vinyl and have lost interest in digital. The DAC is complete and currently useable in its current state but could use a custom enclosure. I have not heard anything close to this DAC south of $3000. These are difficult to purchase and have a waiting list. Priced to sell, grab it before its gone, you cant purchase one at the moment since they are back ordered.
