Not just a DAC with the usual optical, coax, USB inputs, but an HDMI 4K DAC with 4 HDMI inputs and a 3.5mm front jack input for connecting (analog) iPhones/iPods,etc; in sum, an audio/visual control center with great switching flexibility. Also has balanced outputs and a quality headphone amp output. I used it primarily with my Oppo player providing noticeable improvement over the onboard DAC and great listening for several years; would recommend for improved sound to anyone still using an Oppo or other DVD player, or older CD player with optical out. Check out reviews and discussions online for other owners favorable opinions. This component offers a serious improvement at a great price (current price new is $649). New lower price is more of a bargain than ever!You will get all original accessories: box and manual, remote with battery, USB driver disc, Cardas phone cable for iPhone, etc, power adaptor with international plug set.

You are bidding on an Essence HDACC DAC/preamp, which is, for starters, a full-featured DAC with optical, coaxial and analog inputs and outputs, front-panel volume control and even a standalone remote. The HDACCs ESS Sabre ES9012 DAC chip supports up to 24/192k, and can upsample 16/44.1K audio as well. Analog outs include both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA, plus its got a full-sized headphone jack up front that features variable impedance output (set via menu) from 16 to 600ohms. OK, so its a pretty decent DAC. But heres where the HDACC part comes into play. In addition to all of the above, this DAC features HDMI in/out functionality, meaning that you can connect a cheap Blu-ray player via HDMI and pass the video signal through to your TV, while the Essence seamlessly unlocks the full hi-res audio content (uncompressed LPCM 24.96K) from the Blu-ray disc. Otherwise, due both to bandwidth limitations of optical or coax connections—as well as DRM that can only be unlocked over HDMI—the best youre going to get out of your player via any standard DACs digital inputs is downsampled 48kHz audio . So, thats the magic of the Essence. If youve amassed a collection of Blu-ray audio discs and youve already got a transport, add this to your arsenal, and then reward yourself by picking up a few more here: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=audio+blu-ray It is Prime Day, BTW. Or if youve always been curious about hi-res audio, grab yourself an inexpensive BR player along with the above, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Picture-Quality-Digital-DMP-BD84P-K/dp/B0BX4P4MT3 Then just add this Essence DAC, and see what all the fuss is about. Unit will ship in original box w/power adapter and remote. Bidding starts at $50, no reserve. Will ship within one business day of payment received, via USPS Priority, USPS Ground Advantage or UPS Ground, your choice. Local pickup also an option. Good luck and happy bidding!
