It is factory supplied as a DSM/3 with Katalyst DAC, therefore not an upgrade from an older model.

Furthermore, this unit has the newest Utopik power supply installed, taking the performance to an even higher level.

Including original box and remote. Supplied by the official Dutch distributor. Newprice: 10.765 euro (pricelist available), now for 2.990 euro.
