Who buy PS AUDIO ?

Thanks paulcreed  and jond, for your valuable suggestion regarding checking of life of my currently installed coupling caps. I intend to check for any leakage and measure the value on capacitance meter before going to change them. 
Best used DAC under $750.
I have been happily using Bryston BDA-1 since 8 years. Currently there are atleat three offers on A’gone which can fit your budget ( under $700) comfortably. Bryston gears are very reliable and long lasting. I would recommend to consider it.
