Re-available following health check (wanted to ensure everything was 100% prior to sale so sent it off for a check over);

Stunning sounding Droplet CDP 3.1. Valve output stage (NOS phillips miniwatt E88CC); variable upsampling (44.1/88.2/176.4);

Top loader of substantial proportions and weight. Excellent transport and uses a quad of the venerable and great sounding TDA 1543 DAC chips;

2.5V rms output;

Greater than 100dB S/N ratio and less than 0.14% THD

Book says that weight is 30Kg but my guess is slightly less than that.

2 1/2 years old and in Lovely condition all bar minor scratches on the top plate where the cover has been rested when changing CD's (mint other than that).

Furture proof as can be used as a stand alone DAC or transport plus you can have it connected to a preamp as a CDP whilst also using a separate S/PDIF digital input from a music server or computer.

RRP is £2,295. Asking a bargain basement £1200 inclusive of UK insured courier delivery

Hi Paul,

If this was to be located on a shelf, how much clearance would you need between shelves to put a disc in?

I'm looking for a CDP with digital in (for a Squeezebox) but the TT sits on the top shelf...

Hi Rob

you'd need a bare minimum of 220mm (that's the same as the shelf spacing I used to use it with before relocating it on top) but preferably 250mm

Thanks Paul.

I'll have a look at my rack tonight and see if it could work or not.
