It's not the latest Offramp 5, but there's Empirical Offramp 4 w/ Hynes SPDIF, Turbo Clocks, latest transformer, and Dynamo power supply for $1650 OBO on Agon.

Not sure if it's a great deal as Empirical stuff doesn't go up too often, but worth a look if you're looking for a high-end USB/SPDIF converter.

I think this might be the same one posted on HF. It is 900 or so over there.

SR-007 in nice cosmetic condition for 150k Yen.  It looks like a mk1, price is good for BIN.  Total would come out to about $1605 + shipping from japan.

https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-183988161

I use rinkya now since the fees are much more reasonable on expensive stuff than kuboten and the site is more professional.  This auction ends in 13 hours, so if somebody is interested in buying this but can't complete the rinkya application process in time I am willing to buy it and then you can pay me later if I know you.  I *think* the ad says it's in working order but the translation sucks...anybody speak Japanese?

I am not familiar with rinkya.com. How do you know what the fees and shipping are going to be? Do you just guess and hope for the best after you buy the item? I am considering it...

Says here that 149,000 yen works out to $1463 USD without any shipping. So does your $1605 include fees but not shipping? If you have to add shipping on top of the $1605, then I don't think that's such a great deal, is it?

I haven't really seen any Mk1 go for less than 1800 the past few years, most are around the 2000 mark. but I don't particularly look for it so I could be wrong. it seems like a decent deal to me.

err I sold mine to a matey here for 1500 shipped i think. Really was one of the better sounding MK1s I have come across. He concurred and said his other MK1 doesn't sound as good.

I actually told him, if he ever sells it down the line, i get first dibs!

Also this is a decent price on a good condition HP-1.

If I didn't already have an HP1 and a Yh-1 i'd be all over this.

^ Isn't that HP-1 auction from the guy who has been flipping orthos in the past ( the guy whom Ceetee welcomed out of a meet) ?

At 15-1600 OK but it looks like someone snagged paradox's pair for 2k??  What the?  I sold a secondary pair I got as a combo with amp for what I got it for or roughly $1600 for the o2's just a few days ago.  Guess he must have gotten the steal of the century?  I don't think so - something's weird here.
