Sale Pending
UPDATE:
Despite the manufacturer's best efforts (which included a replacement of all parts, including adding socketed TDA1543's), the DAC is still exhibiting faint pops and clicks on certain tracks on certain transports. Evidently the problem is inherent within the design of the D02 itself, and the reason most individuals never experienced this problem is because there was "synergy" between their transport and the D02. It is known that the Squeezebox functions perfectly with this DAC without producing any issues, and likely a number of other transports given that this problem was rarely mentioned among D02 owners.
I am offering the DAC as-is, completely rebuilt including socketed TDA1543 (which can be removed and sold for $60 if you are so inclined), for $180 shipped.
This is not a broken D02, it simply the way the D02 is; most people will have no problem with it, some will.

The D02 was sent away to one of this community's most respected amplifier manufacturers (the company wishes to remain anonymous) to be completely rebuilt, that is, every component on the DAC board has been completely replaced with new components. It would be fair to say that in terms of build quality, this is now the best D02 in existence and one of the few working examples remaining. In additional to the electronics repairs, the rebuild also included a tightening and reinforcing of the chassis and transformer.
There is a cosmetic issue with this DAC, the rear of the top cover panel has what I can only describe as an acid burn, which occurred at Ken Law's shop.
Price is SEE ABOVE shipped in the continental USA for the rebuilt D02.
