Some minor marks to the top of the fascia otherwise in good condition. Operationally in good order.

Looking for £400. No original boxing but will package and ship at cost if required.

Any chance you can hold onto this for a month grin
I want to upgrade my 501 to a 502 first. The wife has given me limited monthly spends frown

A 502 and 556 are not really best partners, the benefit of the 502 is the balanced outputs where as the 556 is unbalanced inputs.

Why dont you stick with the 501 which has unbalanced outputs which will match those on the 556? Or, not wanting to kill the deal, look for a different solution.

Yes I would be prepared to wait a month though I agree with what Ian has said. With a 502 I would try to find the extra to go for a 557. Prior to my first DSPs I had an extended trial of a 502/557 combination and it was very good. For me they sounded better than the DSPs I ended up buying - at the time the convenience of the DSPs swung the deal.

If you stayed with your 501 however then a 556 would be ideal.
