FS: FN1242A DAC

Hi, I have ordered this DAC1242-1.5 "Fluency DAC" in Japan once just to get to know the special FN1242A but I was involved in various projects with FN1242A almost simultaneously and completed this one but never used it. It has 2 BNC inputs that are switchable, LME49860 opamps and Haufe studio 1:1 transformers. It sounds excellent and more musical than a few other DACs I have here. In listening tests some mention the sound character to be warm. I just think it is a very good DAC. As you can see it is chockfull with Black Gate caps.

FN1242A is a kind of special DAC chip made by Niigata Seimitsu who normally produce medical electronics. The chip was used by Luxman in flagship devices.

Make me an offer via PM. It can be bought without casing.
