Here we have for sale Apogee DA-16X Digital to Analog Reference Converter with ADAT and AES/EBU inputs /via DB25 connectors/.
16 Channel DAC of Reference Quality!

Most DACs out there are only 8x, and you need to buy two of same and double the cost, rack space and energy consumption!

No other equipment visible in photos is included in sale! You will receive only Apogee DA-16X.

Please note that power button of DA-16X is often sticking /need few taps to work/ which is known issue for these units, so internal jumper have been set to power it on once it receive power on its rear socket.
Display showing bit rate is very crisp but my camera cannot handle red very well so it looks somewhat blurry on photos.

Apogee DA-16X is Apogee most advanced digital to analog converter, takes the legendary quality of Apogee a significant step forward.
Features such as a redesigned power supply, standard 192kHz sampling rates, the C777 clocking technology found in Big Ben, and optional Pro Tools HD and FireWire expansion cards, make the DA-16X the most powerful and flexible D-to-A converter ever.

Advanced High-Definition Conversion With up to 192k standard sample rates, the DA-16X combines Apogee’s legendary conversion quality with the very latest in high-definition digital to provide unrivaled flexibility and quality. C777 Clocking used by Big Ben The DA 16-X uses Apogee’s C777 clocking technology.
Famous for keeping Big Ben on time, the C777 utilizes an entirely digital process that Apogee has developed with the most advanced Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) technology and DSP-based digital filtering.
With a stable, crystal based digital PLL handling the clocking, the DA-16X is able to intelligently manipulate incoming signals and adapt to them accordingly, resulting in unprecedented jitter attenuation and an astonishing and noticeable difference in sound quality. Advanced Option Routing With version 2 firmware, both digital inputs and analog outputs may be routed in conjunction with an installed X-Option card. Please see page 7 for details.
Universal Connectivity With it’s wide array of standard and optional digital inputs, the DA-16X can be connected to virtually any digital system.
 The DA-16X includes AES and ADAT Optical digital inputs as standard, while either the X-HD or X-FireWire cards may be installed for connectivity to Pro Tools HD or any FireWire equipped computer.
High Performance Output The DA-16X uses Apogee’s newly developed electronically balanced line drivers, able to simulate true transformer behavior.
The circuitry is an ultra low output impedance, high current driver, capable of running levels up to 26 dBu to the most complex or low impedance loads.
Recording studios utilizing vintage audio-equipment will find this particularly valuable.
Ultimately, the output performance of the DA16X achieves perfect symmetry when used in balanced mode (even with an unsymmetrical load) and no increased distortion when used unbalanced.
