Wanted - dCS Network Bridge

Looking for a good deal on a NB - so if anyone here has one surplus for sale I would be very much interested. Thanks!

It may help get responses if you let us know where you are. Mains voltage input varies territory to territory so not everyting would be immediately suitable for you (it is not customer adjustable). There is also the question of shipping.

Sorry - I am in the UK.

My son has got oneā€¦He almost never uses it because he is studying in Paris, he wonā€™t be at home for the next 3 yearsā€¦Still, I donā€™t know whether he would like to sell it or not ? What is your price ?

Thanks Chris - I have messaged you ā€¦

OK Chrisā€™s son didnā€™t want to give his up (wise man) - I do have another avenue to pursue but thought I would ā€œput it out thereā€ again on this dCS forum just in case someone has upgraded to a higher-end dCS product.

Thanks again ChrisK for trying.

When looking into finding a used dCS NB others were saying that the Auralic Aries G2.2 was a performer in their range that would exceed the NB (not the 2.1, the 2.2 is apparently far better) - that being so - I donā€™t want to take a chance on Auralic again - Auralic do have more features and better software - but I feel that the NB is more of a stripped down race tuned performer - and I donā€™t need the screen or the bells and whistles - just a good quality spdif connection.

As you are in the UK and as there is a limited number of dCS dealers, have you tried contacting them directly? The reason is that most dCS gear over here tends to be upgraded via the dealer as a PX deal. For example my Network Bridge was sold on via my dealer when I upgraded to Vivaldi Upsampler.

Many dealers have a ā€œusedā€ web page but it wouldnā€™t be a bad idea if you give them a ring, one by one ( there are few) to see if they might have one or could put you on a waiting list ?

Just an idea.

There is one in Bath, UK put up on the market on 2 September 2024. May want to give em a call ā€“ its in black ā€“

Good Hunting,

Yes I have that one on my radar - not my favourite colour but nevertheless thereā€™s not a lot of choice out there.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Good idea - I tried this and KJ West had one which they use for demos - they were prepared to sell this to me for Ā£4000 - so for that price I said no.

I understand why :slightly_smiling_face:. However if at the end of product production it was still a discount. At that point m.r.s.p was Ā£4250 if I recall correctly. It was liable to increase further but dCS pulled the plug as increasing prices caused by material increases made it no longer economically viable to continue.

There is a silver NWB outside Milan in Pandino, Italy for 2.3K Euros ā€“ I believe the ad is current. Itā€™s here for your information & email is [email protected]

Crumbs - you are resourceful!

I will probably stick with the UK lead however, even though I do know someone that lives in Italy.
