Up for sale is a black mint condition Nuforce HDP. This unit was plopped on my desk the day I got it and since then hasn't been moved or touched with the exception of the volume knob.
Some nice review info can be found here:

"The HDP amp once it is burned-in is more on the level of the $700 Grahm Slee Solo SRG II that I reviewed a month before the HDP. "
" it's only slightly below my $1250 maxed Woo WA6 with RCA 6DE7 and Sophia Princess 274B, or my $995 ALO Amphora headphone amps."
"It almost seems like the HDP's $449 price is reasonable for the DAC, and the $449 price is also reasonable for the headphone amp, and somehow we get both for the same low price. In my book that makes it a best-bang-for-the-buck purchase."
"As a matter of fact, if I already owned the HDP and I was looking for an upgrade, I would probably not "upgrade" to the more expensive Apogee or DLIII. The step up in sound may not be a big enough to make the extra cost worth it, unless you have a balanced amplifier you want to feed. For example, the Woo WA22 is a completely different animal when fed balanced input vs SE input, and there the improvements were very audible. I can say that the PS Audio Perfectwave DAC (PWD) is a step-up worth taking, but unfortunately I haven't heard a lot of DACs between the $3000 PWD and the $700-1000 DLIII and Apogee mini-DAC."
This comes with all original accessories and is in mint condition to the point where I'm confident you won't be able to tell it from an unopened unit. This does NOT have the reversed 3.5mm input issue, and is pretty much perfect condition.
Why am I selling? I'm upgrading. To be specific, to a Mapletree Ear+ HD Super II ($840) + DAC19DSP ($680). Had to spend that much to guarantee I'd improve on the SQ of the HDP
SOLD
