Offered is „Evolution DAC 2“ by Nuprime as second-hand device from the category „Digital Sources (CD/DVD/Streamer...)“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5885905627 ends on 23.12.2026 at 06:02 o'clock.
Are you buying a top-flight digital preamp, or simply paying a premium for the badge? At €2,400, this is clearly ambitious against the four recent comparables: the median is €1,253, the 75th percentile €1,653, and even the upper quartile leaves a substantial gap. Unless this is unusually pristine, complete, and exceptionally well documented, there is room to negotiate.
The upside is real. The Evolution is a serious DAC/preamp with broad digital connectivity, balanced and single-ended outputs, fixed or variable operation, extensive format support, and useful upsampling and filtering options. It is well suited to a streamlined digital system and can serve as the control centre rather than merely a converter. At this asking price, though, insist on the remote, original accessories, clean display and controls, and a proper demonstration; otherwise, waiting for a listing nearer the market median would be the wiser buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
NuPrime Audio is a California-born hi-fi brand founded in 2014 by Jason Lim, the co-founder of NuForce’s high-end division. After NuForce’s premium assets were acquired, NuPrime was established to carry that engineering lineage forward, keeping a strong link to the earlier company’s reputation for compact, high-performance electronics. The brand is now managed by Nuoem Pte. Ltd., reflecting an international business structure even as its identity remains rooted in U.S. audio design.
NuPrime is best known for amplification and digital electronics: integrated amplifiers, stereo and mono power amps, preamps, DACs, streamers, phono stages, and related components. Its catalogue leans heavily toward Class D and hybrid designs, often paired with proprietary input stages and compact chassis aimed at high efficiency and low distortion. It is not primarily a speaker, turntable, headphone, or cable brand.
In the market, NuPrime sits in the serious enthusiast and upper-mid to high-end niche. It appeals to buyers who value technical innovation, small-footprint components, and a clean, modern presentation over nostalgia or luxury styling. The brand has a strong reputation among detail-oriented hi-fi listeners, especially those looking for ambitious electronics at prices below the ultra-exotic summit-fi level.
