At €1,999, this used PS Audio Stellar Strata is a fair ask that sits just above the median of €1,946 for recent comparable EUR listings, comfortably within the typical used range of €1,705 to €2,051. It is not a bargain, but it is a legitimate market price for a unit in EUR condition.
The Stellar Strata remains a well-regarded all-in-one integrated that excels as a "just add speakers" solution, packing a high-quality DAC, MM/MC phono stage, and wired/wireless streaming into a slender chassis. Its Class D amplification delivers clean 100W into 8Ω, while the Gain Cell preamp section ensures precise tonal control. For a fellow enthusiast, this listing offers a turnkey opportunity to own a full-featured, original-owner amplifier without the €3,499 new cost of the MK2, making it a solid buying opportunity at this price.

PS Audio, a pioneering American hi-fi brand, traces its roots to 1973 when co-founder Paul McGowan launched the company in California alongside Stan Warren. Emerging from the analog golden age, it debuted with a standalone phono preamplifier, reflecting McGowan's early passion for vinyl playback honed through radio station connections and encounters with audio enthusiasts. The brand quickly evolved, embracing digital audio in the 1980s by releasing one of the first high-end CD players, the PS Audio CD-1, soon after Philips and Sony introduced the format.
Today, PS Audio specializes in premium electronics, including power amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and integrated amplifiers, with a hallmark focus on power conditioning via innovative AC regenerators known as Power Plants. These devices, born from Stan Warren's mid-1980s discovery that oversized transformers enhance audio performance, remain a cornerstone. The lineup also encompasses digital lenses for refining streaming and disc playback, alongside select analog components, though it eschews speakers, headphones, turntables, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, PS Audio commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its bold engineering and unwavering pursuit of musical purity. Celebrating 50 years in 2023, it occupies a niche as an innovator rather than a mass-market player, appealing to buyers who prioritize transformative power delivery and digital refinement in sophisticated systems.
