1250 euros.

Yes I know. Apparently a gentleman traded his AMR-77 for the DAC 3 w/ the usb-mod, which I hear is quite good. He also got the PCX-2.

Does the retail 2k limit apply to retail before mods or including mods?

I have a PSaudio Digital Link lll that now retails for $695. with the RAM upgrade $700.-(includes one Superclock)...and an Ultaclock added (+800) and a Superclock psu added to the usb as well to power the Superclock that moved to the usb section(+$200. extra)

Total retail with mods=$2395.

Does it qualify?

Having a system change at the moment. The Esoteric X-03se has been replaced by a CEC TL53Z. The cash left over has been used to good effect though. I put it towards new amplification - an Audio Note Japan (Kondo) M7 pre-amp and New Audio Frontiers 845SE.

I really wanted one but was having trouble finding one for sale at the time. So I gave up the search and payed a tad more for the upgraded version. I honestly doubt there is much of an improvement.... it might sound ever so slightly different, but not better.

thanks for reply- my good advice if You look for further improvements - power cords do miracles for sa-1 - compared marantz with DCS stack - when dcs whas pluged to hydra v-ray with top of the line shunyata power cord and marantz was pluged with standard 1$ cord difference was huge bettwen players - when we've conected both players ( if You can call DCS so ) with same shunyata cord differences were minor and sa-1 gain a lot of extension on both ends and become more vivid

$2200.00 is a "tad more"

For no improvement

Explain, please.
