Offered is „Obelisk DA Wandler 1x USB - 2x TOSLINK -1x SPDIFF 1x BNC incl. FB“ by Heed as exhibit from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 0991239899 ends on 21.10.2026 at 16:02 o'clock.
At €1,450, this Heed Obelisk DA listing is a fair deal that sits comfortably below the market median of €1,112 and well under the 75th percentile of €2,535, though slightly above the 25th percentile of €686. The “good” condition note implies a functional unit with likely minor cosmetic wear, justifying a price that reflects solid value without being a bargain-floor steal.
The Obelisk DA remains well-regarded for its clean, uncolored DAC performance and versatile digital inputs (USB, TOSLINK, SPDIF, BNC), making it a flexible hub for modern and legacy sources. Including the original box (FB) adds resale and protection value, while the 2013 Diapason d’or award signals its historical merit among audiophiles seeking a no-nonsense, high-fidelity converter at a sensible entry point into used Heed gear.

Heed Audio emerged from the passion of Hungarian hi-fi enthusiast Zsolt Huszti, who during the Iron Curtain era imported and tinkered with British audio gear like Ion Systems and Nytech designs. Founded in 1993 in Budapest, the brand debuted with the Obelisk integrated amplifier, its circuitry rooted in the concepts of the late Richard Hay, founder of those pioneering marques. Huszti, now owner and chief designer, named it "Heed"—the Hungarian word for bridge (híd), pronounced "heed"—reflecting its bridged output topology and ambition to connect listeners directly to music.
The company specializes in compact, high-performance amplification, including the enduring Obelisk series integrated amps, along with phono stages like the Questar and Quasar, which earned acclaim for synergy with Rega turntables. Heed also produces DACs, CD transports, speakers, and select accessories, all designed and manufactured in-house with global parts. Casework, once UK-sourced, now comes from top Hungarian metalworkers for precision and consistency.
Heed occupies a niche boutique position in the high-end market, prized by European cognoscenti for its "forget hi-fi—remember music" ethos: handcrafted gear delivering sonic purity, musicality, and engagement without ostentation. With a small team in Budapest, it commands respect for unpretentious excellence, bridging vintage-inspired circuits with modern refinement.
