Great DAC from Emotiva. Add your own component amplifier and you have an audiophile 2 channel system. Balanced / unbalanced outputs, headphone connection on the front, 2 optical ins, 2 digital coxial ins, AES / EBU in, USB in, and in / out trigger for other components. Built like a tank. The chassis is one rack unit tall, and is metal and substantial. Even the remote control is metal and sturdy. Fantastic condition. All buttons and connections work perfectly. In fact, I cant see a single scratch on it. Tested playback last week and it sounds great. Comes with: XDA-2 DAC, remote control, power cord, trigger cable, manual, original box + packaging. Selling because Im downsizing my AV gear.

This is the Emotiva XDA 2 DAC with remote and a pair of interconnect cables with Nachamichi terminations. I can’t confirm that the cables are Nordost or not. I purchased them years ago on eBay as Nordost but I’m not 100% confident they truly are. Either way they sound great and heck, they’re part of this package deal! The DAC is in perfectly operational and cosmetic condition. It did the trick for what I was using it for. I no longer need a DAC, which is the only reason why I’m selling it. Check out the pics of the back. It accepts XLR (balanced) and RCA outputs, and coax, XLR, and optical inputs. Emotiva is notorious for producing darn nice sounding and quality products at a reasonable price. I will have this unit and accessories professionally packed for shipping. Happy bidding!

Excellent Condition and fully functional Emotiva XDA 2 DAC. Getting out of the HiFi hobby and making this awesome piece available for sale. The XDA-2 is a digital preamp, USB/AES/Coax/optical DAC that can upsample to 24/96 and/or output 24/192kHz. Emotiva says the XDA-2 will support 24-bit/192kHz resolution for all inputs, including USB. The XDA-2 has an Analog Devices AD1955 multi-bit delta-sigma DAC.An Analog Devices AD1896 asynchronous sample rate converter (ASRC) is used to control jitter.Digital inputs include two coaxial digital audio, two optical digital audio, one USB, and one AES/EBU input.The preamp section is an analogue resistor ladder volume control is in .25dB steps so can act as a digital preamp. Full controls are from a heavy metal remote.The headphone amp can power low and medium impedance headphones and is quiet enough to sound good with IEMs (headphone amp features a 105dB Signal to Noise Ratio). The headphone output had no problems driving higher end Grados, AKGs, Beyerdynamics, and Sennheisers headphones.For outputs, there are balanced XLR outputs as well as unbalanced standard RCA unbalanced outputs for connection to an amplifier.The XDA-2 works well as a desktop all in one Preamp/USB DAC/Headphone amp or in a full set up with an amp.

This was one of three XDA-2s that I owned. That’s how good it is! I no longer need all 3. In fact I now only need one. It is in excellent working condition. There are only very minor blemishes, please see pictures. (Primarily there are four residual marks from the feet of a unit that was stacked on top of this great unit. Black-on-black marks. Not in any way significant, and hardly visible in pics, but offered as full disclosure.) Will ship in original double box. I will pack with new packing material and cloth covering. Will come with a heavy-duty original remote. Below are excerpts from Audioholics. “The XDA-2 almost defies easy description as it does so much and yet it is still a very targeted product. First of all it it is an audiophile quality DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter).

The XDA-2 has an Analog Devices AD1955 multi-bit delta-sigma DAC which delivers exceptional performance and superior audio quality.

Using Analog Devices AD1896 asynchronous sample rate converter (ASRC) provides almost total immunity to jitter. The analogue resistor ladder volume control is in .25dB steps and gives the XDA-2 the ability to be a digital preamp as well as a high quality DAC. With the large line of quality Emotiva amplifiers, it would be easy to put together a stereo listening system on the cheap. But where Emotiva has really changed the game is with the last functionality of XDA-2.The XDA-2 is a high-current headphone amplifier with independent control and retention of main output level and headphone volume. The XDA-2 has a low-noise discrete design with 0.1-ohm output impedance. The headphone amp features a 105dB Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and will work well with sensitive headphones.”

For sale is Emotiva XDA-2 Differential Reference DAC XLR 24 Bit Preamplifier Controller. Purchased new and very lightly used for couple of years. Installed in a 19 rack using Emotiva detachable rack ears. https://youtu.be/roHmiPAqnr8

I bought this brand new, and it has often been the center of my main two channel system. Its an awesome DAC/preamp with really clean sound, a ton of digital inputs, and the highest quality remote Ive ever had for any piece of equipment. As much as Ive enjoyed it and its features, I no longer need it, and it is time for someone else to enjoy it. Will ship in original double box, with packaging and cloth covering. Will come with the heavy-duty original remote and a power cord that works, but probably isnt the one it shipped with. I misplaced the manual, but it is available online. Also to note, I had it serviced at the Emotiva factory in 2017 to replace some bad 5 volt power supply caps under warranty. After that, it was, and continues to be as good as new. It has been well cared for, and is in almost perfect cosmetic condition. Additionally, it has the rack mount ears, in case you want to put it in a 19 inch rack. I never ended up going that route, but the parts are included. They will be removed, and packed in the bottom of the inner box to protect them. Below are excerpts from Audioholics.
