**Edit - This has been sold!**
Hey guys,
I put this up for sale briefly a while ago and then kind of forgot about it (because I hadn't gotten a new DAC yet, so I wasn't that eager to sell quite yet...), so I'm freshening up the post a little.
For sale is a used Monica3 USB DAC with power supply in perfect working condition, with one cosmetic flaw - a thin crack through the top of the removable wooden removable (you should be able to see it in the first picture here).
This is an excellent and very musical NOS DAC (USB is the only input). Unlike many USB DACs, it doesn't convert the USB signal to SPDIF, and instead goes straight to I2S, providing the best sound quality possible through a USB connection. The only reason I'm selling it is that I sprung for a major upgrade (PS Audio DLIII) and don't have that much use for it anymore.
The Monica3 is the most tricked-out version of the Monica DACs, with blackgate caps etc (you can learn more about the Monica DACs here).
Here are a couple of pictures - one with cover on unplugged, in which you can see the thin crack along the top of the case, the other plugged in and turned on with the LEDs all lit up.

I'd like to get $240 shipped CONUS but I'm open to offers. Happy to ship internationally, but it will cost a little extra on the part of the buyer.
Also potentially interested in using this to trade towards a new headamp, let me know if you have one you're ditching.
