About the Matrix Audio ND-1 DAC

@audphile1 

I have no idea whether that’s a typo. I’ve noticed similar pricing from time to time for other used, high-demand components. 

I’ll add my +1 to @ghd’s regarding your advice on DAC tiers, though.  

It’s not even $100 cheaper than new.
Who buys this stuff? If you can purchase a brand new component with warranty direct from the manufacturer for only $50 - $100 more, why would you buy used from TMR? Makes zero sense…

@twoleftears 

I agree 100% about waiting for more reviews before I act.

@audphile1 

I definitely agree, I’m not interested in making a lateral move.  As of right now, I only have two definite maybes on my list, the Denafrips Venus 15th and the Mearson DAC 1 MK2. The reason I started this thread is that the ND-1 looked interesting and might not be a sideways move.

Boy it would be so much easier if I had more Hifi shops within 200 miles of me.

I have given thought to adding a reclocker and I might do that at some point, but for now, I’m going to look getting a better DAC. The Pontus ll, is great, but something is still hurting my ears in the upper midrange @65-75dbs.  Over the years , I have changed everything else, so that’s why I’m hunting for a different DAC.

Thanks.
