Consonance Reference 7 Digital Analog Converter (DAC)

Electrical Disclaimer Description


I'm selling my Opera Consonance Reference 7 DAC streamer (actually it's a renderer) with tube output.  I'm the original owner and have loved owning it, but it's time to upgrade.  This company is responsible for the legendary Droplet CD player.  Simply add an app like 8 Player and away you go.  You can stream (incl. Airplay) services such as Spotify and Tidal, local media via home network or stored on an external SSD, and internet radio built in.  It is well built?  Well, this DAC streamer weights 18kgs!!!  And, yeah, the tube output stage is very, very nice.

VGC considering age.  There is a mark or two on the top which I've included in the photos.  Please note, one rear USB fails to work, and the second does work but has to sit correctly for connection to occur.  A touch finicky in setting up, but once done it stays in position.

Shipping is included in this sale price. This is a hi-end unit that is built like a Goddam tank.
