This is a total scam.

I would get the digital cable from someone who actually understands how to properly build a digital cable -  Chris Sommovigo 's Black Cat Cable springs to mind.https://blackcatcable.com/collections/redlevelBTW - I had great results with Genesis ... 
Auralic Vega and USB Reclockers (W4S Recovery and iFi Micro USB 3.0)
If you want to improve further, try UpTone Audio LPS-1 PSU on the W4S Recovery unit. It makes a great difference in SQ. There are a lots of threads on Computer Audiophile forum on this PSU.Also, instead of iFi, you may want to try the Intona USB i... 
Nakamichi CA-5 Flea market find
I would list it on ebay instead. Examples in a good shape are worth $300-$500. 
Which British Hi-Fi Magazine is Your Favorite of the Brits?
+1 to Hi-Fi News & Record Review and HiFi Critic.  
NEED ADVISE ON AN AMPLIFIER TRANSACTION
+1 to what joeind says. It could be a scam.ALWAYS wait for the item to return before giving any money back to the buyer.I have never seen any AgoN policy that would advise/require otherwise.

If they can afford one ... more power to them !

The only soundbar I know that sounds ok by hi-fi standards is Naim Muso.I have one in my office. I'm using it as an all in one solution.

Is the UPOCXO-01-SS clock (OCXO only) equal performance wise to  RBOCXO-01 when in OCXO mode ? 
Individual International Seller Scam
IMO, if you are gonna wire someone $5k-$10k-$20k, that 30 min spent researching the seller is time well spent. ESCROW is not free, and it will cost you some extra time as well.   
Individual International Seller Scam
I'm sorry to say that, but if you spent 15 min researching the topic prior wiring the funds, you would still have your money. There are numerous threads, here on AudiogoN and other forums, with tons of usefull advice on buying used grear. I have 1...

Need a remote control for my Audio Research CD1 CD Player
