Yulong UA188 Amp/DAC in New Zealand

It looks like this:

YULONG UA188 DAC USB INPUT Headphone AMP SKU107 - eBay (item 230411070330 end time Mar-11-10 02:30:20 PST) ViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item35a591eb7 a

I don't have a camera. Sorry. Price firm at $140 delivered in NZ. Payment by direct deposit only.

Remarkable little box. I've used this as a headphone amp, DAC, Pre-amp and all three at the same time. It is currently connected to a CD player via RCA inputs, my laptop via USB input, a set of powered speakers and some headphones. It has sparkling clear sound and enough gain with it's variable outputs as a pre-amp to drive some sloppy old Bose powered speakers to new, unheard-of (excuse the deliberate pun) clarity. It's been a mainstay of my second system since I bought it. I had a Meier Corda Arietta next to it and the Yulong is a bit leaner though just as clear. I'd say that the Meier is a better amp by a tad but the DAC section and the pre-amp capabilities of the Yulong make it a better value budget solution.

I've just found something that I really want to buy so up-grade-itis has hit; I've reduced the price which includes free shipping in NZ.

I have used this with various Audio Technica headphones, a few Philips models, Sennheiser HD 212s, and best of all, my AKG K240s. I don't know what the DAC chip is or how this would go with a top level set of headphones like K701s but as the centerpiece of a modest desktop rig, it is perfect.

Some interest. I'm willing to post outside NZ. Thanks

Hi

Was wondering how much the item would cost with shipping to Australia. Also, which currency were you referring to...

Cheers

Looks like this device is on it's way to a happy new home.

If the deal falls over, currency noted above is in cheap-as-chips NZ dollars and yes, I'll ship it to Aussie.
