TIDAL Arkas Streamer, a pure no-holds-barred design platform intended for use as an end game digital content controller. Stable and built like a tank, in typical TIDAL fashion. Includes box, accessories and manual. This unit has only seen a moderate amount of use in a dedicated TIDAL reference demonstration system. Operates flawlessly, condition easily rates a 9/10 and it would be very difficult to distinguish from new.
