Buying Used DACs

Hi. I have the opportunity to purchase a demo PS Audio Direct Stream Junior at a decent price. As it is no longer in production and PS Audio says (I contacted them) they may not have the parts to service it, how comfortable would you be in buying it? The seller is offering a 90 day warranty. Thanks for your input.

The Junior was also known to have overheating issues.

Thanks all. Decided to pass on it.

Good call, OP. I don't know if this is an indicator or not, but there is a LOT of used PS Audio gear out on market.

Good. No parts for service is a deal breaker.

With more new dacs available and competition helping to regulate prices some, this caused me to buy two new dacs in the past six months.  A few decent choices out there, even compared to just 2-3 years ago.
