Angeboten wird „Chord Mscaler / BALCK / 230v“ von Chord Electronics als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 2444044358 endet am 23.08.2026 um 10:59 Uhr.
Condition good at €2,500 puts this just above the €2,462 median and a touch over the €2,493 75th percentile, so it reads as a slightly ambitious but still close-to-market ask rather than a bargain. Against the local sample, you’re paying a small premium for a clean example, not a lot more.
That’s still a sensible buy if you want what this unit is known for: it’s a well-regarded digital upsampler that many owners keep in chain because it can sharpen timing, reduce glare, and make a good DAC sound more composed. In used hi-fi, a tidy example at the upper end can be worth it if it’s complete and functioning properly; just confirm power supply, cables, and any original packaging if you care about resale.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Chord Electronics, a British high-fidelity powerhouse, traces its roots to the aviation industry. Founded in 1989 by John Franks, a former Marconi Avionics engineer, the company emerged from his early 1980s innovations in ultra-reliable, high-frequency switching power supplies for aircraft electronics. Initially too costly for commercial viability, the designs became feasible with advancing components, launching Chord from its Kent headquarters in a renovated pumphouse that remains its manufacturing heart.
The brand excels in premium amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), blending Franks' analog prowess with digital expertise from FPGA specialist Rob Watts. Early power amplifiers quickly won acclaim from professional studios like the BBC, Abbey Road, and Skywalker Sound, establishing credibility before shifting focus to consumer hi-fi. Iconic products like the Hugo and Mojo DACs exemplify their boundary-pushing approach, alongside integrated amps and streamers, all handcrafted in the UK without compromise on power, precision, or musicality.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Chord commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising engineering, aerospace-grade reliability, and bold innovation. Independent and proudly British, it sets benchmarks in transparency and dynamics, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance over mass-market concessions.
