Up for sale is a recently released Chameleon NOS DAC.
I bought this for use in a high-endish (by my standards, anyway) setup consisting of a T1, Decware CSP2, and Chameleon. The Chameleon found itself in the company of a $1000 headphone and a $800 tube amp based mostly on my experiences with the Valab. The Valab, stock and in its cheapest iteration, was incredibly smooth, musical, and made everything sound just plain old real. The $200 Valab actually turned out to be the key lynchpin in an HD650, Bijou setup that I enjoyed immensely. I sold it in anticipation of the Chameleon I have now; unfortunately, without the Valab in the HD650, Bijou setup I just didn't have the motivation to listen to that setup, since with the interim DAC it was just plain old boring. The Chameleon NOS DAC, however, is supposed to be an immense step above and beyond everything the Valab ever accomplished, according to the Chameleon impressions thread (though comparison comments tend to get buried by enthusiastic modding discussion =]).
Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to listen to the Chameleon. I had the CSP2 and the Chameleon, and am still waiting for the T1. Sometime in between that, I decided I'd rather go for a portable IEM route. Therefore, I sold the CSP2 and am now selling this (and probably the T1 when they arrive). Fortunately for the buyer, though, this means the Chameleon hasn't seen much use at all and is in pretty new condition.
SOLD
