Original owner, like new condition, best sounding DAC/streamer I've heard. Purchased new two years ago and shipped directly to EVS for full, single ended modifications. I've used this unit to play AIFF files from a WD hard drive plugged into the back or CDs played on my Oppo UDP-203 through a coax cable, ifi SPDIF Purifier and into the back of the Sonica.Ric Schultz of Electronic Visionary Systems was considered by Charles Hanson of Ayre one of the very best digital audio engineers. Ric really understands both analogue and digital circuitry and his modifications are legendary. This Sonica received his full, $800, single ended modification suite. I've removed the crappy stock feet and attached carbon fiber pucks to drain vibrations away from the unit. I've also used a liberal amount of EAR IsoDamp SD damping sheets. Please see my photos for more detail. When I first started using the Sonica, I attached Herbies Tenderfeet to the carbon fiber pucks for a nice improvement in sound. Since then I've discovered AV Room Services EVP isolation feet, a remarkable product. If you would like three Herbies Tenderfeet add $45. If you would like three 2" EVP MD feet, add $115. Includes original factory box, owners manual and power cord. The unit is controlled with the free Oppo Sonica app loaded on your smartphone or tablet. Price is firm. No trades. Buyer pays shipping and PayPal fees (3%). I do accept checks (no fee) and ship once the check has cleared. I only ship to an US address. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.
