    Default FS Jolida GlassFX Tube DAC III

    For Sale my Jolida DAC
    lovely bit of kit - in great condition
    I bought this direct from Robert (Opendoor)
    It’s not had a great deal of use as I only really used it to warm my amp valves up with a laptop for an hour at a time - I don’t use my system much either
    I have the original box and packaging
    It has the original Tung Sol valves - very little use as I suffer from tube rolling madness

    Looking for £350 + postage - I can’t seem to find many completed sales
    I’m in Blackpool
    It is stock exactly as it was made

    Am surprised its in standard trim having sourced it from Robert. He usually pimps the hell, out of them before he releases them into the wild.

    I bought this early on when the III had just come out - before he started pimping them
    I did have an amp off him prior to this which had lots of upgrades
    I have to say this DAC sounds very nice as is - I never felt the need to mess with it as I don’t really have a Digital source

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    I have the Mk1, and it's the 1st dac I've had where I noticed a significant difference when partnered with my Node2. I've since had it pimped by Robert which has taken it to a whole new level. When I tried and RME and Quetest the differences against the Node2 were minimal to my ears, the Jolida is a non-fatiguing, very analogue sounding dac.

    Thank you -Grant ,Brian and John
    It is a very analogue sound - and upgradable
    I just don’t use it much at all - probably less than 10 hours in the last 2years what a waste
