IFI Micro IDSD Black Label DAC/Headphone Amp

[Ali Tait]

I bought this to use in my previous car, it's been unused since I changed motors. Great sounding bit of kit, many comments online on it being one of the best sounding portable dacs around-

Up to 12 hour battery life, and also has the facility to charge your phone if required.

Boxed with all accessories.

Retail is £600, I'm looking for £300 plus postage.
