Jolida Valve Tube Dac Glass FX Mk3 - new

Brand new - never used. Well known and regarded warm sounding dac with no opamps :)

Unmodified unit in that it comes with Jolida’s own rolled and branded output caps and TungSol new issue vacuum tubes (12AX7 / ECC83). Responds well to tube rolling.

£340 incl U.K. post - absolute bargain!

Can be used as a digital preamp as the volume pot works both the RCA outputs and headphone socket. Sounds sweet and very revealing with headphones.

Great DAC for a bargain-basement price, recall paying a similar price for a 2nd-hand one. Robert supplied me with a pimped-up version this time last year and I still love it.

Have a bump on me :wave:

Yeah, thanks guys.
A bargain - still a current model with a USA retail of $525 then add postage and VAT and your looking around £530 to get one here. These are UK voltage (which Jolida do charge for the voltage swap out).

The Mk2 for sale in the classifieds is a steal too with the extra valves and Clarity Cap ESA upgrade.

With the volume pot these can be used as a digital pre. Very good with headphones.
