£68 is a strong deal: it sits below the £75 25th percentile and well under the £82 median for recent UK comparables, so this is priced to sell rather than stretch. For a compact USB DAC like this, that puts it in proper bargain territory if it’s working cleanly.
The appeal is the usual Meridian one: neat, plug-and-play digital conversion with a polished, low-fatigue sound that still makes a meaningful step up from laptop audio. At this price, the main upside is simple value, especially if it’s a tidy unit with the cable and no connection glitches. I’d just make sure it’s stable over USB and not suffering from crackly sockets or dropouts, since those are the only real deal-breakers here.
