Yea, I thought it hasn't been released yet?
As for the Parasound 1100 it'll probably be hard to find one, and it'd probably be better to test it out in person to make sure it works since it's like.. what, 10 years old? Unless I'm mistaken. I may be.
I'm liking the obscure suggestions though!
Exactly, I believe it is to be released sometime around 12/1 (if it isn't delayed again). I don't put much stock in recommendations by people who haven't heard that which they are recommending. The Parasound 1100/1500/1600 are not that hard to find, but it does take a little time. But they are built like tanks and most of the people I know who have them have not experienced problems. The build quality is superior to most of the crap out there now. But you are right, it's an older piece of equipment and there are risks associated with that.
EDIT: One other recommendation I have is the Electrocompaniet ECD-1, which is a lovely DAC. But now you're getting closer to $1k used.
