bought lightly used one 2-1/2 years ago

I have re-discovered my too-many cd/sacds, I try not to, but actually buying used CD/SACDs they sound that good. Before hearing this unit, buying only LPs.

confirm remote included, text mentions it, no photo

It's a SALAD, not just a DAC,

it's how many DAC's? Over-Sampling; Re-Clocking; Anti-Jitter physical and software; Filters; Shaping, OEM proprietary tricks, .....

I have an Esoteric UX-3 I purchased new in 2012, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

CD/SACD players?
