IC: Benchmark DAC-1 - {Canada} - Silver - Latest Version
OFFICIALLY FOR SALE~!~!~! ( New thread to show that it is officially for sale)
Hi all,
I'm running short in cash to fund a big screen television for the World Cup 2006 in Germany (Football/Soccer). So I'm going to put up an interest check for the beloved Benchmark DAC-1.
I recently bought it from akwok and everything has come in perfectly BNC adaptor, original box, dac-1, original power cable, manual. He still has the fuses but I'll makes sure should you buy it and he ships the fuses out to you.
Right now, I'd prefer a within Canada sale but feel free to message me with offers from abroad and I may decide to sell it.
I have enjoy the DAC-1 as a superb source and really appreciate its built-in headamp. It may not be the best headamp but as a 2 in 1 source and headamp, I've found it incredible. My direction has changed for now and maybe one day I'll pick another one up but cash talks and I need some right now for a television.
I'll set up a price of $SOLDCdn shipped. I'd prefer it if you paid via Email Money Transfer to avoid the large PayPal fees.
Feedback:

Heatware
Update: I've recieved the fuses from akwok. I've also contacted Benchmark for the replacement fuses and should recieve them very soon. (replacement fuses from fuse recall).

Keep the offers coming guys. I'll get pics up really soon, within like 5-6 days though because my camera is in my dorm room in Kelowna and I'm back in Penticton with my family right now, along with all my sound equipment and my computer.

The DAC-1 seems to be switchable between 110V and 220V. I have it currently set at 110V.
For the manual, you can find it at: http://www.benchmarkmedia.com/dac1/DAC1-Manual.pdf
Feel free to message me any more questions. Thanks.
