The Cary Audio Xciter DAC has received several on-line good reviews including at Hometheaterreview (dot) com; a Head-fi (dot) com member and a Stereophile review which notes how the Xciter is a good match up with the Cary Audio MS-1 Server (which is not for sale under this auction). As a DAC, the seller used the Xciter to connect to digital music sources in two ways: running a SP/DIF cable from the Cary DAC digital source section to a CD player. Seller also ran a USB cable from the digital source section of the DAC to a computer which is equipped to receive a USB connection. Music heard via the USB connection by seller was to a computer that provided on line access to music sources, e.g., you tube videos, Tidal, Qobuz, some of which require membership. For music to be heard, the seller connected the Cary DAC to a Yamaha receiver via the analog left/right outputs on the rear of the DAC. Seller listened to music by headphones via the Yamaha receiver headphone jack or through external speakers connected to the receiver through left/right speaker jacks on the rear of the Yamaha receiver. The MSRP for this DAC is $1495. Priced right to sell now through bidding or by the buy it now option that is available until bidding starts. Selling to the continental USA. Seller will ship within 1 business day of receipt of payment from the buyer, which includes payment for the Xciter as well as the shipping expense to your location. The Xciter will be double boxed in the manufacturers boxes.

I’m the original owner. Purchased in 2011. A few tiny little nicks on the top of the plate. You’d never see them beyond a couple of feet away. Still works perfectly. Never had an issue with it. Sound is still great and only exceeded by higher priced, modern components. Solid build quality. Shopping for a DAC on a budget? Look no further. For specs, use the search title in google. Comes with original box. No power cord. Uses standard IEC plug. EDIT: Added pictures of the original double box it came in from the factory. /// CONUS shipping only. No returns. Buyer must remit payment within 48 hours of auction close.
