For sale is the Audioengine D1 24-Bit DAC with USB and optical inputs and phono and headphone outputs. This is a great way to elevate your PC listening experience.
As well as accepting a signal through the USB input, it also offers has an optical input which has the benefit of accepting content of up to 192kHz/24-bit, rather than the USB connection's 92kHz/24-bit limitation.
Great chance to get your hands on this iconic, critically acclaimed and well loved little DAC.
A couple of things to note:
- This is the USB-A version of the D1.
- There was some degredation of the matte finish of the face plate causing tackiness. I got in contact with Audioengine and they ackonolewdged this as a known issue and recommended removal of the coating. This is what I have done, and so the face plate has a slight sheen to it now which is only really noticable in the light. I have tried my best to capture in the images - it's purely cosmetic though.
- Powered via 5V USB input (even if using optical)
Included
- D1
- High-qaulity USB cable
