I'm in need of immediate funds for a purchase in a different hobby, so I need to part with some equipment that I don't use as much as I should. Because of the time-sensitivity involved, I'm pricing this item aggressively to encourage a quicker sale. Reasonable counteroffers may be considered, but please no low-balling, as the price is already pretty generous.

I'm selling this SP1000 DAP (with amp combo) that is still in very good condition (I probably used it for less than 100 hours). The only reason I didn't list it as "excellent/like new" is simply because of age. I believe that, just five years ago, the MSRP for the DAP was $3,000 and for the amp was $700, so under $1,000 for this combo (which still sounds incredible) is a very steep drop. As far as I can tell it is cosmetically near-mint (as you can see in the pix) and sonically it's never had any issues. It will come with the original storage boxes and original accessories. This combo has always been stored properly when not in use and I live in a smoke-free, dog-free home. I still enjoy its sound and utility but I recently purchased an SP3000 so this combo needs to find a new home.

I'm an old-timer (joined Head-fi 20 years ago) and have immaculate classified buy/sell feedback here (under the old system and now the new one https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/member-feedback/electrathecat.17395 ), at Nikonians, at Fred Miranda, Audiogon, and eBay, all under "electrathecat." I am seeking $975 (well below the used market price for these two items). At this price I will cover PayPal fees (to make sure everyone is protected). Shipping will be up to the buyer, and calculated based on address, preferred method, etc. I live in the SF Bay Area if anyone is interested in local pickup. I'm attaching pix and if anyone has any additional questions or would like me to take particular pix please let me know. Thanks!
