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.

A respected older-school 8-out DSP/DAC with real utility for active crossovers and room correction, and A$200 looks fair-to-strong against what this box has recently traded for. A comparable used OpenDRC-DA8 sale at A$345 equivalent was listed at US$225, while another OpenDRC-DI sold at roughly A$275 equivalent, so this sits toward the attractive end of the used market rather than feeling ambitious.
What keeps it interesting is the flexibility: stereo S/PDIF in, eight RCA analog outs, 32-bit floating-point processing, and support for FIR/IIR filtering for crossover or correction work. It’s especially appealing if you want a compact digital front end for a multichannel active setup, and “excellent” condition matters here because these are no longer current-production mainstream items. If it’s complete with power supply and ready to go, this is a solid buy for a DIY-minded system.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
