I am selling my collection of headphone amps.

 

 

THIS ONE IS MODIFIED WITH A TUBE PROTECTOR ON THE TOP

 

 

This amp costs aud$490 landed from Massdrop so this is a bargain esp as it has a built in DAC that can be used just as a DAC (it has a pre amplifier analogue out 3.5mm jack on the back which is the  output for the DAC ). This Grace Design DAC is highly reviewed and costs AUD$120 (incl delivery) from Massdrop.

 

 

When Cavalli Audio was selling this amplifier it cost close to USD$1000 without a DAC.

From Massdrop:

 

 

The Massdrop CTH + SDAC DAC/amp brings two of the communitys favorite designers together in one affordable, easy-to-use package. It features the Massdrop x Alex Cavalli Tube Hybrid Amp (or CTH), built from the ground up by the founder of Cavalli Audioa legend in the world of headphone amps. For the DAC section, it uses the Massdrop x Grace Design Standard DAC (or SDAC), a collaboration with a company long known for its incredibly accurate, transparent studio gear. The result is an all-in-one unit that measures objectively well and works with a variety of driver types and impedances, including all previous Massdrop over-ear headphones.
