I have upgraded my front end to the PS Audio PerfectWave Transport/DAC combo, and I think it would be a shame if the ZDAC-1 I've used carefully and happily were to sit on the shelf for months and months while the unit is no longer available from Decware and is in demand. . . .

This is a great player.  I replaced it with one that cost more than three times the price, and the Decware unit may have better bass. . . it's close and a matter of personal preference which has the better bass.

This unit is in excellent condition and is fully operational. I would like to sell it for 700 dollars including shipping to a continental US address. I will also include a trio of Herbie's Audio Lab "Tender Feet" (the larger ones).

If interested, please contact me at lonjazz@yahoo.com

The ZDAC-1 is on hold. Thanks!

Hey Lon, I'd love a ZDAC if it falls through.  Is there much risk of the part that is no longer available breaking?  Or are the other components more iffy?

Regarding ICs and wire: I keep proving to myself how wonderful the Decware Silver Reference ICs are. Just yesterday I dug out my PS Audio xStream Statement ICs which cost twice the cost of the Decware ICs and put them between my DAC and Torii Mk III. I thought "the DAC is a PS Audio and these ICs were once the top of the line PS Audio ICs, maybe there's a great synergy!" Well, I left them in about four hours and listened and they did sound really good, thick and rich and big and bold. But . . . I missed the air and depth that Decware ICs presented. Yes the PS Audio were warm and rich, but. . . the Decware were better over all and back in they went. I can highly recommend these--they mate well with every Decware component I've connected them with and every other component as well. They do take time to break in, but after a few months you'll never part with them.

The Styx speaker cable take even LONGER to break in and it may make sense to somehow break these in outside the system because the wait for the cables to settle in is long, it took them months before they were all they could be in my system. But once they were "there," there simply is no finer speaker cable in my experience. Just a newly cleaned window into the recordings.

Be confident that with your CSP2 and Torii Mk III and ERR, you have an amazing system, and you can look for the finest possible sources and cabling and reap the rewards they bring. This pre-amp, amp and speaker combo is just such a quality combo. One to enjoy for a lifetime.
