Dealers That Sell Large Volumes of Used Gear Online
Has anybody sold their used gear to any of these dealers? 
Does anyone notice a reduction in sound quality when a tuner is part of ther audio chain?

Thanks Charles. I've emailed PS Audio, but wanted to see what owners have to say. Since it's factory refurbished, I'm wondering if caps were replaced and it needs some burn-in time.My DAC is the entry-level PS Audio (not at the level of the Yamamo...
