Looking for $689 > $629 > $579 > $399 > $349 OBO + shipping CONUS.

Shows some signs of wear, small markings, small nick on the front corner and top-right edge (see album). Otherwise really quite clean and looking super aesthetic (part of why I was attracted to the Questyle design language). Typical analog volume pot imbalance at extremely low volumes (not an issue, just wanted to note)

Comes with the gunmetal top, as well as the clear acrylic top for you to see those pretty internals. Includes extra acrylic pane top, original remote, manual, etc. No original box.

UPDATE AND IMPORTANT NOTE: I sold this CMA600i a little while back, but accepted a return and issued a full refund as something went wrong with the USB DAC feature. Upon receiving it back, I verified that the amp section is working perfectly well (which is this unit's strongest suit anyway). However, I was unable to get the DAC to be recognized by my computer through USB. On the other hand, THE DAC IS WORKING PERFECTLY FINE THROUGH SPDIF OPTICAL INPUT - which is commonly preferred for the CMA600i, due to known issues with the AK4490 USB implementation. Note that this isn't an issue at all using SPDIF / Optical, been using it for years with no issue. Again, USB DAC is not working, SPDIF / Optical DAC input IS working perfectly. So if your motherboard has an optical out, this is basically a great, fully functional DAC / Amp.

Alternatively, if you plan to buy this just for the class-A amp section (which gets pretty high praise), I've priced it accordingly.

Thanks.

Oh, no worries! By "discrete" I just mean separate.

The DAC and amp in the CMA600i are built into one single unit. I like it when the DAC and amp are separate units so there is more flexibility to mix and match components.

But, that is totally just my personal preference.
Oh that is called discrete. I need to learn to be more technical.

Bump and huge price drop: 679 > 619 > 579 > 529 > 399 OBO

I had sold this a while back but it turned out there was a fault in the USB input so I've taken it back and refunded the buyer! DAC still works perfectly through optical in. Amp works beautifully. More details in main post.

TL;DR: USB not working, DAC/AMP still working via SPDIF (optical) input. Amp section working well, at this price it might even be worth it to buy it as a standalone amp :) Any questions just let me know.
