I believe many OZBargainers have got multiple headphones yet have a dac/amp, here is the deal for you!
RRP from official website is US $799.99 http://centrance.com/store/#!/~/product/category=7071966&id=…
Currently Amazon has it for US $719.99, camelx3 shows the lowest price was $599.
This deal is from Massdrop and the lowest price is unlocked.
A free upgrade of 1 Ohm Output Impedance is available, which normally costs $99.
I know the description says this free upgrade is available if 75 units are sold, but in the discussion section, CEntrance has confirmed it WILL be available for all!
1 Ohm output mod - Use this mod to get the best out of low-impedance headphones/IEMs.
Variable Output mod - The Variable Output mod allows you to control the levels at the RCA jacks with the DACmini volume knob. This is how a preamp normally operates.
UPDATE:
- Price decreased for another $10 so now become US $439.98 Shipped and the drop is extended for 5 more days.
- if more than 50 units were sold, the Variable Output mod (normally $99) will be a free option too. Currently 37 joined.
UPDATE2:
- More than 50 have joined this drop, now the Variable Output mod is free as well!
I own a lovely DAC that cost me $60. I'm sure this would sound better, but there is a point where the gains become less noticeable.
Personally, anything without a lot of feedback on Head-Fi isn't on my short-list (even at apparently 1/2 price).
No offense or insult to OP, just my 2c.
