Description
NAD C658 network streamer / pre-amp / DAC with BONUS Audioquest Yukon RCAs This was bought from an authorized dealer in late 2021. It has about 1 thousand hours on it and is in perfect working condition. No dings or scratches. It has always sat inside a tower cabinet and been connected to a power conditioner so no lightning/storm damage. Im also throwing in a 1.5ft pair of Audioquest Yukon RCA interconnect cables (a $430 value). I got these at the same time as the NAD, so they also have 1 thousand hours on them and similar to wine only get better with age. If youve got an amp or a stereo receiver with a Line Input, you can plug these great cables in and be up and running in no time. You may notice in the pictures that I connected the Yukons to the Line 1 input. I meant to connect them to the Audio Pre-Out, to show you how easy it would be to plug this streamer / pre-amp / DAC into your system. Surely you get the idea.
