Selling my Diana TC and Xi Audio stack composed of the K-DAC and Broadway (balanced) headphone amplifier. One of the coolest endgame setups out there, purposefully design to work together. It sounds amazing, the synergy is perfect and the tiny footprint makes it ideal for anyone that doesn't have a lot of space for gear.
The Diana TC is the dark bronze version and in perfect shape. Comes with 4.4mm Abyss cable, 2 sets of leather pads (regular and bass ported), carry case and outer box. I doubt these headphones need any kind of introduction/description so I won't bother.
The K-DAC is a little wonder of an R2R DAC and it's impossible to find anything close to its performance without paying significantly more. A proper hidden gem. It is widely recognised that it performs at 90%+ of its bigger brother, the Sagra (over double the cost). It provides that unique (dare I say analogue?) R2R sound signature with amazing tonality and great detail. The filters also work great, giving you options ranging from 'cleaner' to very engaging (borderline NOS though not full-on). You can read a few reviews here and here as well as listen to a wider discussion by the Abyss team here.
The Broadway amp features a pure class-A design with a unique power source solution, running on batteries making the sound very clean and ensuring a perfectly black background. It's probably one of the most underrated amps in the community. That said, Abyss considers it the best amp for their Diana headphones and I can confirm that with both the TC and the MR. It was also my favourite pairing for the LCD5, the synergy is absolutely spot on. In truth, it worked great with all the TOTL headphones I tried on it. To be fair, I doubt it could power Susvara, 1266 or Tungsten but all else though should be game. The Diana TC is quite a demanding HP and it's basically been designed around it. A few select reviews here and here and a conversation between DMS and the Abyss team here.
If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me. Thanks for looking and reading my wall of text
