The 1000T seems to be going for $600 off at several retailers right now. Not sure if it's a special promotion or if on its way out already.

I have the non-T version and go long periods without listening to it, but every time I do I love it. I don't understand why it never seemed to catch on.

I was actually able to buy a non T version from someone who was hardly using it. Going to use for my work desk with HEK Stealth.

You can buy from Amazon Uk with no trouble. My CA1000 was $706 delivered. Took about 8 days for delivery. Listening to Tom Petty Live at the Fillmore right now thru Caldera.

Damn .. I wish I knew that before spending $600 on a used one at least it comes with a leather case..

That is good. I cannot find a case in stock anywhere.

I saw this one, but I’m not sure of the legitimacy of the vendor/seller.

I saw that too. Judging from Miter cases I have bought for other items that price seems rather inflated.

any decent deals in the US market like the ones on Amazon UK?

Just order it from UK, it ships to US. Authorized dealer as well.

Can the CA1000 be used as a DAC only and how? Can I just use the RCA L/R out from the CA1000 into the AMP?

It can be used as a DAC connected to the computer with the USB cable by choosing the sound output in your favorite music player. As a DAC for speaker amplifier I have not used it, but it is ready for it. That's why it has RCA outputs.

Thanks. I just might need a stronger AMP for my headphones and wanted to know if this can be an option.

From what I have read, the ACRO CA100 can handle even the Susvara, although it doesn't squeeze its full potential as other amplifiers. But in principle we have a valid device to drive almost any headphone.

You tell me you have HE1000 Stealth. That is what I have on the way. How’s running that headphone on the CA1000 in comparison to the RME ADI-2 DAC?

I haven't tried it in comparison because in all my previous headphones ACRO CA1000 has been far superior in sound quality to the RME ADI2. With the HE1000 Stealth I haven't even tried it. I use ADI to connect it to an amplifier and speakers.

Does the HE1000 Stealth sound great with the CA1000?

Does the HE1000 Stealth sound great with the CA1000?

I haven't had many devices and headphones to compare, but the HE1000 Stealth with the ACRO CA1000 sounds remarkably good. It sounds for example much, much better than a Focal Clear OG. Also, almost all the comments about the HE1000 Stealth are on the side that it needs warm amps, and the ACRO CA1000 has that sound signature.
