The worlds largest online retailer of pre-owned audio Product DescriptionWho we areWhat we doOur ProcessOur Policies SPL Director Mk2 Preamplifier & DAC; D/A Converter Product SKU: 57078 Input Voltage: 120V # of Owners: 1 Service History: None Serial Number: 21.1840.00118 Age: Unknown Tobacco Exposure: No MSRP: $3599 Cosmetic Description: Very good condition with minimal visible cosmetic wear including some light nicks on the top edge of the faceplate, and a minor scuff on the top surface. These blemishes are not readily visible from your listening position, and do not detract from the overall wonderful appearance. What is Included: Preamplifier, Power cable, Factory packaging Other Notes: At two or even three times its price of $3599, SPL’s Director Mk2 would still be an outstanding preamplifier-DAC. Well built and meticulously designed, with straightforward source selection and volume control, and able to learn command codes from the remote controls you already own, it’s an ergonomic dream. And in terms of sound quality, I found nothing to complain about and much to praise: The Director Mk2 was vanishingly quiet, dynamic, neutral, and exceedingly communicative of the music, particularly in the lower frequencies. - Aron Garrecht, SoundStage! Ultra Functional Notes: Operational condition of this item is excellent, fully tested and no issues found.

Subject to change without notice. Milled from solid The massive 45mm volume control knob milled from aluminum is a haptic highlight. Its mass together with the motorized Alps RK27 Big Blue potentiometer enhances the spoon in the honey feeling even further. The red marker LED ensures good visibility of the volume parameter even in darkened environments. Remote control The volume control can be remotely controlled with any infrared remote control. The Director Mk2 learns to communicate with it with the simple push of a button. Source of joy Up to ten (10!) stereo sources can be connected to the Director Mk2. Six of them are for analog and four for digital input signals.The source selection is shown in the dot matrix LED display: IN 1 through IN 6 for the analog inputs. AES, USB, COAX, OPTIC for the digital inputs, where the detected sample rate is displayed after about two seconds. For example U768 = USB input with 768 kHz sampling rate. The source selection can also be operated remotely if the rotary switch is set to the Remote position. The Director Mk2 offers two pairs of balanced inputs with XLR connectors and four standard inputs with gold-plated RCA connectors. On the digital side there are four additional inputs. PCM audio is received in S/P-DIF format via coaxial Cinch, optical Toslink and balanced XLR (AES). Both PCM audio and DSD audio can be converted via USB. Well informed The DAC automatically picks up the sampling rate and resolution of the digital playback source. No matter if a streamer, computer or CD player is connected. No further settings on the Director Mk2 are necessary. The detected sampling rate is shown in the dot matrix LED display. For example, U768 is an acronym for the source USB with a sampling rate of 768 kHz. The highly acclaimed AKM AK4490 Velvet Sound premium DAC chip is used as the converter chip in the digital-to-analogue converter, which thanks to its architecture reproduces the finest sound details. It converts PCM audio with a resolution of 32 bits and a sampling rate of up to 768 kHz, which is equivalent to 16 times CD resolution. Direct Stream Digital is also supported up to a resolution of DSD4 or DSD256. In contrast to the DAC 768xs, the DAC768 not only offers an AES/EBU digital input, but also the SPL DLP120 with VOLTAiR technology. The analog output of the DAC chip must be filtered by a low pass filter. Phonitor xe has two of them: One for PCM audio and one for DSD audio, since different roll-off frequencies are required. In contrast to all other DACs in the world, the low pass filters here are built using VOLTAiR technology, which provides a plus in dynamics and headroom and sound.

I am selling a six month old SPL Director MK2 Preamp Dac. The preamp has mint cosmetics and everything functions as it should. It will ship in the factory box with all accessories. The unit will ship for free. SPL Director Mk2 Preamplifier/DACThe DAC768 uses AKM’s AK4490 premium chip (32-bit resolution with up to 768kHz sample rate).Low pass filters for both PCM and DSD use VOLTAiR Technology for greater dynamics.Almost any remote you own can be programmed to control the Director Mk2.Through the USB input, DSD up to DSD4 (DSD256) is supported.
