Up for sale is a one box Pink Triangle CD Player and DAC with modifications.

PRICE REDUCED TO £549 TILL END OF JANUARY 2017, GRAB THIS BARGAIN!

I bought this one used myself.  It's a user project made of Pink Triangle Cardinal, Cordinal and Ordinal parts plus a Dacapo 22 Bit Filter Module. I got a message from the pre-owner regarding the modificaions. The upgrades were done by Redhill Audio in the UK, costing approximately £750 GBP! The upgrades included individual dedicated power supplies, new capacitors and much more that cannot be remembered right now.

Inside there is a dedicated transport/drive section and a dedicated DAC section.

The DAC section provides two internal digital input connectors accepting Pink Triangle digital interface adapter cards installed/mounted at/from the rear side.

Both digital input interface sockets have a digital interface adapter card installed.  One is for connecting the CD transport/drive section to the DAC section (with internal cabling). The other provides a digital input for connecting external digital SPDIF sources. So you may either listen to CDs or listen to your external audio files via an SPDIF connection (44kHz 16 bit PCM).

The DAC printed circuit board features the filter module socket and jumper field also found in the standalone DACAPO DAC. This one has the DACAPO 22 Bit filter module installed.

The actual DAC chip is a Philips TDA1547 bitstream DAC. The TDA1547 is a full dual channel DAC chip, however there are two TDA1547 DACs on the printed circuit board, so there is a dedicated TDA1547 per channel I guess.

There are some user modifications inside (here and there) of which I don't know any details but they seem to be power supply upgrades. There also is an additional power supply card installed which seems to supply the clock circuit of the transport section. This additional card is operating from the 240V AC mains power supply. There are wires hand-soldered (by user, not by factory) to the factory installed power transformer supply input for taking the mains supply voltage (240V AC) to the additional power supply card. Just wanted to point this out so that the buyer is aware that there are user applied cables inside carrying mains power supply voltage!

The CD Track/Time display has green digits with some age fading.

The top cover shows some scratches. On the rear side there are some screws missing. From time to time the tray may stuck just a little on the way when being opened or closed (a mechanical alignment thing that could be fixed I guess). I did not bother much since I have been using it as a DAC rather than as a CD player. A little hand support helps in case it shows up. Just mentioning this as it may show up again after shipment handling.

A Pink Triangle Cardinal Remote is included (batteries have been taken out). There is no manual or original box included. There also is no RCA-Cinch/BNC adapter included.

Brief guide:

Unnamed front buttons left to right: Power On/Off, CD Tray Open/Close, Source Select (CD or external digital SPDIF source), CD Search Backward, CD Search Forward, CD Previous Track, CD Next Track.

Digital Input Dual BNC Interface Card: Left BNC is SPDIF in (works), right BNC is for a digital out option (never used or tested this one).

This is a used item with some wear, signs of age and user modifications.
