At £84, this sits above the £66 median but well below the £122 75th percentile, so it reads as a fair-to-good ask rather than a steal. It’s not a bargain-bin price, but it is comfortably within the normal used range for a compact AudioQuest desktop DAC/headphone amp with Bluetooth.
The appeal here is the all-in-one convenience: a small, reputable unit that can clean up laptop or streamer audio, drive easy-to-moderate headphones, and add wireless input without clutter. If it’s complete and working properly, that makes it a genuinely tidy buy for a secondary system or desk setup; the main thing I’d want to confirm is that any included cables and power arrangement are present, since missing bits can eat into the value.

Founded in 1980 by Bill Low in Irvine, California, AudioQuest traces its roots to 1978, when Low, a hi-fi store manager and avid enthusiast, began crafting superior audio cables to overcome the signal degradation he observed in existing products. Dissatisfied with subpar materials and construction, he prioritized advanced conductors like 6N copper, innovative insulation, and precise geometries, quickly earning acclaim after demos at events like the 1979 Summer CES. This passion-driven origin propelled AudioQuest from a cable innovator—first U.S. company to advance signal transmission in 1985—to a global force in high-performance audio.
While renowned for its expansive lineup of analog, digital, and AC power cables, including HDMI for video, AudioQuest has broadened into USB DACs and headphone amps, highlighted by the multi-award-winning DragonFly series launched in 2012. The brand also offers Niagara and PowerQuest power conditioners, alongside custom-install solutions, all engineered to maximize system fidelity without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or turntables.
AudioQuest commands a premium position in the high-end market, supplying thousands of specialist retailers across 60 countries as the dominant cable provider for discerning audiophiles. Its relentless innovation, from conductor purity to dielectric design, delivers tangible performance gains, cementing a reputation for value and musicality that serious hi-fi buyers trust.
