Audiolab 8300CD CD Player/DAC/Pre-Amplifier

This is a fine CD player /  DAC / Preamp in fully working order with no issues.

The DAC in this player is based on well-known ESS Sabre32 9018 chip.

New price is $2500

I am the second owner and bought it without the remote control. However, I managed to get an fully compatible aftermarket remote control unit.

From Audiolab website:

The 8300CD demonstrates a level of fine detail, transparency, soundstage depth, dynamic range and musical flow across all sources. It is both an exceptional CD player and a top-class external DAC/digital preamp, able to make the most of your CD collection. While delivering an enormous sonic boost to external digital audio sources it now extends its resolution to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD compatibility via USB.
