Flagship time! The Sennheiser HDVD 800 DAC/amp is currently available in “Used – Demo” condition for $1374 plus shipping at Adorama.com, an authorized dealer. Because the url has spaces in it, if your browser can’t resolve it, use the search box over there to look for it.
The original post mentioned this: “Used – Good” condition for $1501~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. The listing describes this particular option as having minor cosmetic imperfections and damaged original packaging. This option is from Amazon’s own used sales (AWD). The other used option that goes for more ships from Japan.
Given that most people don’t buy a $1500 DAC/amp every day, if this is something you are interested in, you may also pay attention to the price over the next few days to see if it drops further down. There’s only one unit, so you are playing a game of “used chicken”, but if you don’t need it yesterday, you have the flexibility of waiting.
