Description

B2B sale as part of a home studio liquidation: An attractive package for ambitious recording users. The unit is also ideally suited to adding a touch of tube warmth to a digital signal during live operation and making subtle EQ corrections – live mastering, so to speak. Via the AES/EBU input and output, it can be integrated particularly easily into existing setups. Equipped with two digital options, including AES/EBU, USB, coaxial and optical S/PDIF, each as input and output. German high-end tube technology product with extensive sound-shaping capabilities as well as Compressor/Limiter. Sonically, the unit is thoroughly convincing and can certainly be compared with products from MANLEY and similar manufacturers. I operated it either via AES/EBU or the analog outputs together with the included ESI interface on a MacBook M1. This worked without any problems. The original manufacturer no longer exists, unfortunately. Therefore, the USB function of the digital option cannot be used with newer computers without further ado – unless someone develops a suitable driver or an older computer is still available. The Mac USB app for the unit is available, but no longer runs from High Sierra onward. I am not a computer specialist; there may be other ways to implement the USB connection. After being stored for a longer period, some push buttons partially jammed, presumably due to resinified mechanics. Therefore, in May 2025, all push buttons were replaced with new ones by a specialist company known to me. The invoice is available and can be viewed. The unit is therefore in very good condition and sounds excellent. Unlike other units of this series currently offered on the internet, this one includes both digital options ever produced for this model. Anyone searching the browser for “DTC SOS” will find a detailed review by the English studio magazine “SoundOnSound”. Collection and testing against cash payment possible. Alternatively, suitably insured shipping with DHL is planned, although collection is preferred. For shipping, the unit would be fully packed in foam and secured against shocks. In this case, however, the shipping risk would be borne by the buyer. B2B sale – no warranty and no returns.
