For sale my 6 month old Audiophonics Evo Sabre DAC/streamer. Excellent sound quality but I’ve recently purchased a new amp with built in DAC so no longer needed.
I’ve used this to stream Qobuz and also files from an external USB hard disc. It can be used as a digital only pre amp or a fixed output DAC streamer. The DAC comes as a kit from Audiophonics which requires simple assembly - no soldering! There's a description of the assembly here for those interested.

Some details from the description on the Audiophonics website:

The EVO-Sabre is a high-precision DAC using two 32-bit ES9038Q2M Sabre chips integrated in dual Mono mode: each of these chips see its computing power 100% dedicated to a single channel of the stereophonic signal. This achieves a sound restitution of exceptional clarity with tremendously low crosstalk.
This component belongs to ESS flagship series and is among the best current hardware solutions for high-fidelity audio decoding. It uses HyperStream 32 BIT 768kHz architecture with native DSD support. Each one of this chips is also equipped with advanced reconstruction filters and uses some of the finest dithering techniques available on the audio market.
ESS ES9038Q2M SABRE DACs are also very popular thanks to their ability to operate volume with almost no consequences on the audio bitrate.
The board works in balanced and single-ended mode and offers both a balanced stereo output on 3-pole XLR connector and an single-ended stereo output on RCA connector. The module can thus be ideally suited to most integration scenarios and will easily find its place in minimalist audio projects as well as in very complex Hi-Fi installations.

Complete with remote and an Ifi power supply which made some improvement to the sound quality.
Total cost including import taxes, a rather oversized 128gb SD card with Volumio installed, the Ifi power supply was just under £500. This 6 month old DAC/streamer in perfect condition is offered at £420 delivered to UK mainland.
