I am just checking to see if anyone is interested on here (and HeadFi) in this before I put it on Ebay.
I am wanting at least $320 otherwise I'll stick it on ebay :)

This is a mint condition Alpine 3900 DAC.
I am selling it because I have no real use for it in my current car audio system so unfortunately cant justify hanging on to it. It features solid aluminum casing with copper internals for superior shielding. This was designed to work with some specific Alpine head units but as you can see it is easy to use it as a standalone DAC.

Go here to my homepage for better quality images of this DAC when being used with my PIMETA headphone amplifier:
