MiniDSP OpenDRC DA8 Digital Signal Processor Has the latest firmware installed. Comes with original packaging. This comes with a remote from an SHD Studio which I've never used other than to program it into my universal remote. Despite that, the remote control has a mark on it and the battery panel on the back comes off easily which can be remedied with sticky tape. Condition: Excellent Payment Method: Paypal, EFT. Region/State: (NT) Northern Territory/Australia By Satanica 0 Comments AUD $150 Date: September 10, 20241 yr
Is this the kind of DSP you actually need? At A$150 in excellent condition, this looks like a strong buy: used OpenDRC-DA8 units have been changing hands around A$225 in similar forum sales, so this asking price sits well below that and comfortably in bargain territory.
What makes it worth grabbing is the flexibility: stereo S/PDIF in, eight analog outs, solid room-correction and crossover chops, and a reputation for being a capable, no-nonsense processor for active setups or digital front-end tinkering. If it’s complete with power supply and control software access, the value is even better; at this price, the main question is just whether you have a use for an older but still very handy multichannel DSP.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
