This is a buyer’s market for this DAC at US$100: with a recent comp set centered at US$113, and the 25th percentile at US$95, this lands just above the low end of normal and a touch below the median. That makes it a fair-to-good buy, not a steal, but still comfortably in the zone where you can move quickly without feeling overpaying.
The D30 is well-liked as a compact, clean-sounding USB DAC with solid measurements and a straightforward feature set, so the value here is in getting a respected, no-drama desktop converter at a sensible price. If the unit is clean, powers up reliably, and includes the needed cable/remote if originally supplied, it’s an easy listen-first pick; at this level, condition and completeness matter more than chasing a deeper discount.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
