Sold Sparkler Audio S512u "Perceive" DAC

[StevenZ]

I know I should be holding onto this, but a change in offices and other variables are needing me to offload my gear. This is a wonderful sounding NOS 16/44 DAC with optional USB module and 1m Sparkler Audio RCA cables. Other modules can be ordered from VK Music or any other Sparkler dealer to accommodate various input signals other than USB. This is a reference level DAC at an affordable price which I was proud to own. It was ordered with a beautiful green rice paper top. I'm asking $600 shipped CONUS only, PayPal gift/F&F only.

Is the digital input some type of proprietary connection? Or could you connect via AES?

It's I2S via 5-Pin DMX cable. So the the module takes a USB/PC input, outputs I2S via DMX to the DAC which is I2S via DMX input only. Let me know if you've got any further questions. Hopefully my explanation wasn't confusing.

Edit: VK Music and other Sparkler dealers also sell Optical and Coaxial modules for connecting to the S512u DAC as well.

The Esoteric is still available. It is just as good as this one but a slightly different flavor and presentation.

 

[Limberpine]

Yeah, I'm not familiar with the Esoteric.
