Description
MBL 1511 DAC - Made In Germany General:This was a very expensive DAC back in the late 1990s.This 1511 is in fair condition with some scratches and nicks on the highly polished case, typical for this sort.The only input that works is the Optical, but it works great.Balanced and single ended outputs work well. Unit produces a very clean and precise output.Very little info on the internet for this piece, sorry for the lack of our usual content. Ownership:Single OwnerConnections:RCA and Balanced Outputs, Tousling Optical input.General Sound:Accurate to the recordingCosmetic Condition:6/10 = Fair. Three to four minor scratches, or one major scratch.Working Condition:Working perfectly and tested on our bench with both CD and DVD. XLR and RCA working as they should.Included:Just the unit and power cord.Packing:Will be packed using our highly developed in-house process and custom packing materials.Weight:25 lbs.Approximate Age:1999 Testing Process:We start with a visual inspection of all internal components to make sure that there are no signs of heat stress or damage. Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect resistors and other passive components for signs of overheating.After the visual inspection we connect the DAC’s RCA outputs to our Sencore PA81 Power Analyzer which simulates a real world input impedance and allows us to monitor the output on an oscilloscope. We are equipped to test optical, coaxial, and USB inputs at Redbook CD Quality. We start with a test signal to verify signal lock and proper output on both channels. If the DAC has balanced outputs these are also tested at this time. If the DAC has multiple Optical and Coaxial inputs they are all checked for proper lock. USB inputs are tested with a Macbook Pro.After proper function is verified, we set the DAC up for a listening test to evaluate general audio reproduction quality and monitor for clicks, pops, or any other audible signs of issues related to dropped signal lock or failing audio output stages. We often connect DACs under evaluation to our long term test rig for a long test stint to verify stability under real world operating conditions. *Scroll down to view additional images for this listing and click to enlarge. **Please note we are not a repair shop and only restore what we own. ---------- SkyFi Audio - Curators of Vintage Audio Gear SkyFi Audio is a small startup business specializing in the purchase, reconditioning, and reselling of high end audio equipment.
