Dated but still A rated DACs

Looking to purchase a great sounding used DAC , unless I can obtain equal quality on a new one. Your thoughts?

No affiliation with either both very good deals and well regarded used DACS under your budget.

Checked this off my bucket list. Radically good sound for a 20+ year old DAC. This was designed (I believe) by Mike Moffat who currently resides at Schiit. Mr. Moffat has damn good ears IMHO!

I went through a lot of DACs in this price range before settling on AMR. It can compete with a vinyl rig of the same price as its MRP (I tested this out), couldn't make out the difference on the same track between digital (redbook on AMR) and my analog rig. I sold my analog and kept the DAC.
