I’m assisting a longtime member of the Audio Foundation who is raising funds to offset recent acquisitions. This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a highly regarded, compact high-end digital front end at a compelling price.
Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + Audio Alchemy PS-5
Complete Two-Box System | Original Packaging & Manuals Included
Offered today is the outstanding Audio Alchemy DDP-1 DAC/Preamp paired with the PS-5 Linear Power Supply, presented in two original boxes with packaging and manuals. Also included:
- Factory umbilical cable
- Black power cord can be included, but an audiophile power cord is recommended
- Both original box, packing, and manuals
Manufactured in California, this combination is a true sleeper system for serious listeners who value performance without sacrificing space. The Audio Alchemy DDP-1 is a versatile Digital Decoding Preamp/DAC/Headphone Amp supporting 32-bit/216kHz PCM and DSD64 via various digital inputs, featuring a Class A analog stage, 1W headphone output, and balanced/unbalanced I/O. The optional PS-5 is a linear power supply designed to improve noise reduction and performance.
Why This Combo Stands Out
- Exceptional detail & imaging with a spacious, holographic soundstage
- Discrete analog output stage for natural tonality and refined musicality
- Motorized volume control for precision and convenience
- Dual-stage power design:
- Linear supply for the analog section
- Switching supply for the digital section
- Compact footprint with the performance of far costlier separates
The result? Transparency, dynamics, and musical engagement that rival components well above its class.
