    Those are more like good condition. And the price is ~€50 too high, assuming shipping is included. I still have a pair, which I never use. They're pretty impressive, in their way. If you're wondering how it sounds, it sounds closest to an original RS-1. (That's not a particularly accurate comparison, but it's the best I can come up with.) They need a warmish, preferably OTL, tube amp to sound O.K. Otherwise, the drivers aren't coherent. Incidentally, that was why Enigmacoustics wanted to sell their Dharma with their Athena amp. It was a tip off that the they couldn't get the drivers to cohere—and they didn't.

    Great deal for a great product in a pretty rockin' custom case! Includes an external 5V power supply, too... all for less than $100 than I paid for my vanilla Pi2AES. Someone jump on this.

    I wonder if the length of that ribbon would pose issues with the i2c signal? I noticed that it's wrapped in a foil, which may be an attempt to shield the ribbon from RF/ EMI. I wonder if @Michael Kelly has any concerns about running a ribbon of this length from the Pi to the HAT. It looks cool, but seems unnecessary.

    Not sure why he only has the Ethernet port available if he’s mounting the RPi like that. I would have used an extension cable if I was only using Ethernet so I could add a usb drive internally
