Unik DAC. Den förra generationen (LM-502) gav makalös prestanda i förhållande till sin prislapp. Den nya exportversionen hanterar nu även DSD-filer.

This kr 16,500 asking price is ambitious, clearly exceeding the 75th percentile of kr 10,133 for comparable SEK listings. While typical new retail for the Line Magnetic LM-32DAC sits around kr 22,000–kr 35,000 (derived from EUR $2,195 and AUD $3,299 RRP), the used market median is significantly lower at kr 2,749, making this listing overpriced for a second-hand unit unless it is pristine original-owner condition with rare accessories.
The LM-32DAC remains a well-regarded choice for enthusiasts seeking flexibility between tube-buffered and solid-state analogue outputs, delivering high-resolution 32-bit/192kHz decoding with excellent dynamic range of 120dB. Its meaningful upside includes the unique ability to switch output types for tonal preference, a feature rare in budget DACs. However, given the ambitious price, buyers should verify the condition rigorously, confirm inclusion of all original cables and manuals, and ensure the tube output stage is healthy, as aging tubes can affect performance and require replacement.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Line Magnetic Audio: Brand Overview
Line Magnetic Audio was established in 2005 in Zhuhai, China, by brothers Zheng Cai and Zheng Xi, both passionate audiophiles with deep roots in tube electronics. Zheng Cai's background as a former general manager and chief engineer at Cayin, combined with years spent studying and restoring classic Western Electric, Altec, and Jensen components, provided the technical foundation for the company. This heritage of reverse-engineering and understanding legendary 1950s American audio design remains central to Line Magnetic's identity and philosophy.
The brand specializes in tube-based electronics and speakers, with a product range spanning integrated amplifiers, preamplifiers, power amplifiers, DACs, phonostages, and horn-loaded loudspeakers. Line Magnetic is particularly renowned for its meticulous replicas of classic Western Electric, Altec, and Jensen designs, as well as proprietary field-coil drivers that have earned respect among both manufacturers and DIY enthusiasts. All products are hand-assembled using point-to-point wiring across two factories, reflecting an uncompromising manufacturing philosophy.
Line Magnetic occupies the high-end boutique segment, targeting discerning collectors and audiophiles who value vintage-inspired design married with modern engineering. The brand commands respect for its scholarly approach to audio history, rigorous material research, and unrelenting build quality. Rather than pursuing mass-market appeal, Line Magnetic has cultivated a devoted global following among those seeking authentic tube sound and meticulous craftsmanship.
