Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2014 10:33 am
Hi,
I have for sale my April Music Eximus DP-1 DAC / Pre / Headphone amp.
I am the first owner and DAC is less then a year old. It comes with all original packaging and accessories. It works flawlessly and it is in like new condition. It had only moderate use as I was building my system over a period of almost a year and it was the first component next to Denons D7100 which were its main partner for bulk of the time.
The price I am interested in is SOLD. Cash on collection or bank transfer are both welcomed. I can deliver up to 50km from Dublin and we could meet if someone would like to test DP-1 in his own system.
It is quite extraordinary "little" box for the price. One gets 3 in 1 were all 3 functions deliver in spades. It has multitude of ins (2x RCA coax, 1x BNC, 2x analogue, 1x i2s, 1 optical toslink, and USB) / outs (set of analogue RCA and XLR) and very good xmos (thesycon driver) usb implementation said to be same as April Music Stello U3 which is their well acclaimed dedicated coax converter.
It is truly fully balanced topology with two separate DAC chips working in dual mono setup.
DAC section is very nice and rare combo of musicality and deep detail retrieval which does not get in the way of the music. Pin point localisation, black background, very immersive sound staging and vocals to die for. It will also up sample if we decided so.
Pre is fully analogue and matches if not exceeds my dedicated single box pre Primare PRE30.
Head Phone amp punches hefty 1.5W of power per channel and comes with optional bass boost function. It also comes with, as low as it gets, impedance of 0.1 ohm which is a perfect match for all and any headphones on the market including low impedance / high sensitive headphones like D7100 but it will still power without a problem likes of power hungry orthos.
