Mint condition The Cary Audio DMS-700 is highly regarded for its blend of high-end digital processing and traditional analogue-style sound. Its “best-selling” features focus on its unique internal architecture and its flexibility as a complete digital hub.
This one is late-generation gear, so timing matters less than condition and completeness than with vintage digital kit. At £3,990, it sits just above the £3,924 median and inside the tight recent band of £3,911 to £3,950, so it reads as a fair ask rather than a bargain or an overreach.
That makes sense for a well-regarded streamer/DAC with serious build and a broad, refined presentation that appeals to listeners wanting a one-box digital hub. In excellent shape, it’s the kind of purchase that rewards a buyer who values convenience, maturity, and strong resale stability; just make sure the remote, packaging, and any proprietary cables or modules are all present, since those details matter more than haggling a few pounds here.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Cary Audio was founded in 1989 by Dennis Had in Cary, North Carolina, emerging from humble beginnings on his dining room table where he crafted his first vacuum tube projects. Driven by a passion to restore emotional depth to home music reproduction, the company quickly gained notice with icons like the CAD-300SE single-ended triode amplifier. After Billy Wright joined in 1992 and acquired full ownership in 2009 upon Had's retirement, Cary Audio evolved into a privately held American manufacturer, operating from a 10,000-square-foot facility in Raleigh with 21 dedicated employees handcrafting high-performance gear.
The brand specializes in premium amplification, spanning vacuum tube and solid-state designs, alongside digital components such as network streamers, DACs, and headphone amplifiers. While rooted in tube heritage, Cary has expanded into home theater processors and state-of-the-art digital music centers, prioritizing top-tier components for exceptional musicality across categories. Speakers, turntables, and cables remain outside their core focus, emphasizing instead amplification and source components that deliver transformative sound.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Cary Audio commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its reliable, value-driven products that blend superior engineering with lasting performance. As a boutique American outlier in a global field, it appeals to buyers seeking hand-built excellence at real-world prices, backed by unwavering customer service and a legacy of innovation since its inception.
