Perfectly working nice looking tube dac EASTERN ELECTRIC MINIMAX ES9018.
It has selectable tube and solid state output. Variable output is disabled for better direct signal path, but can be remade back into variable in no time.
Opamps are replaced with better lme49720 and lme49710 metalcan to99 opamps.
Price 300€ plus shipping cost

for 50€ you can also get usb to spdif convertert hiFace 24bit 192khz with bnc conectors.

Shipping costs to UK are around 21€ for package from 2-5kg.
If you also take hiface usb to spdif are shipping costs for FREE!
And ... 2 pcs of another excellent opamps for Buffer stage ...Single opamp for FREE!
I will give you a list and you can choose. For I/V I think that 49720 are in top list and no need to replace. But for final sound tuning on buffer position some other can be choosen.
Thank you

You are right. 350€ for both. Plus 2 single opamps. If you need variable output i can do it back. It is no big deal, resolder 3 small silver wires, at right side are hidden old cables. One is with 3pin connector and one is with 3 solder wires. Just put conector in place and solder 3 wires to rca connectors ...thats it.
Tony no problem, If Desperace will not buy it you are next.
Thank you.
