Selling Mobility Nobility 30Oct17

I have long used an iPod source and a special Predator USB DAC/AMP along with some Shure earbuds as my mobile HiFi system. With last year's gift of the Onyx DP-X1 I no longer use the Predator based system much. I will be selling it. The Predator is ready for use with any line out source OR as an excellent DAC & AMP for "any" USB audio bitstream. Here I show the complete kit and then the DAC/AMP connected to a 16GB iPod Touch for extremely mobile high fidelity and attached to a Macbook for external decoding and amplification.
The Ray Samuels Emmeline Predator DAC/AMP $475 (http://www.raysamuelsaudio.com/products/predator.html) is a dead quiet, great sounding, rechargeable battery driven, DAC/AMP combo in an extremely small package. The battery lasts "forever" and the amp can drive tough IEMs and even full size headphones very effectively. I connect the iPod Touch to the line in on the AMP using a custom designed pure silver ultra-short cable $100. I typically use IEMs like the Shure SE846s shown or full size AKG cans.
The entire system with earbuds fits in a small Eagle Creek case (7in x 3in x 2.5in) that I carry in my backpack/briefcase. The system is being sold with the iPod Touch and the interconnect. The stock charger for the Predator is included but is rarely used.
I can't say enough about this system and especially "The Predator;" it served me very well for many years on many planes and in many hotel rooms. It sounds great.
