Went for a drive today (day off) and wound up spending some time perusing Goodwill thrift stores. Got a decent enough small desk for work for $20, an oak cabinet for $12, and a Technics SH-AC500D processor for $25. What a good day for deals!

I have wanted one of these to come along for years and it’s taken it’s sweet time find me. If you asked why I wanted one I’d have to shrug and just say “I like the simplicity of it”.

I’ve been listening to music piped from the Apple TV for a couple hours. Without doing a direct comparison I cannot note any shortcoming. I get a strong feeling I won’t be able to tell it apart from any other DAC I have or have had.

Here are the manufacturer’s specifications.

I remember the Technics. They weren't that cheap in the day, and are well built components.
