This is a buyer’s market if the unit is working properly: US$30 is well below the original US$149 launch price for the v1.2 and looks like a strong used buy rather than an ambitious ask. For a small USB DAC/amp like this, that’s the kind of pricing that usually lands in bargain territory, especially if it’s tested and the cable/plug is intact.
The appeal is straightforward: the v1.2 is a compact, well-liked little DAC with up to 24-bit/96kHz support, a clean analog output, and enough drive for easy-to-moderate headphones. At this price, the main upside is getting a respected pocket DAC for far less than entry-level new gear; just make sure it’s recognized reliably by your source device, since age and hardwired USB wear are the only meaningful concerns worth checking on a low-cost unit like this.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in 1980 by Bill Low in Irvine, California, AudioQuest traces its roots to 1978, when Low, a hi-fi store manager and avid enthusiast, began crafting superior audio cables to overcome the signal degradation he observed in existing products. Dissatisfied with subpar materials and construction, he prioritized advanced conductors like 6N copper, innovative insulation, and precise geometries, quickly earning acclaim after demos at events like the 1979 Summer CES. This passion-driven origin propelled AudioQuest from a cable innovator—first U.S. company to advance signal transmission in 1985—to a global force in high-performance audio.
While renowned for its expansive lineup of analog, digital, and AC power cables, including HDMI for video, AudioQuest has broadened into USB DACs and headphone amps, highlighted by the multi-award-winning DragonFly series launched in 2012. The brand also offers Niagara and PowerQuest power conditioners, alongside custom-install solutions, all engineered to maximize system fidelity without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or turntables.
AudioQuest commands a premium position in the high-end market, supplying thousands of specialist retailers across 60 countries as the dominant cable provider for discerning audiophiles. Its relentless innovation, from conductor purity to dielectric design, delivers tangible performance gains, cementing a reputation for value and musicality that serious hi-fi buyers trust.
