This is ambitious, not a fair ask: at US$499, it sits well above your comparable-market 75th percentile of US$198 and is more than 4.5x the US$110 median, so the seller is clearly pricing in the external power supply and box set. For the bare DAC/amp, that would be a stretch; as a complete stack with the linear PSU, it’s still premium money for the used market.
What makes it interesting is the upgrade path: FiiO’s R2R DACs are popular with listeners who want a fuller, less sterile presentation, and a linear PSU can add some audible refinement and convenience if you value a tidy all-in-one desk setup. The upside here is mainly completeness—original boxes and a matched PSU stack can save you time and hassle—but at this price I’d want confirmation that the PSU is the correct unit, everything works quietly, and all cables/accessories are included.

Fiio, founded in 2007 in Guangzhou, China, emerged as a specialist in portable audio gear, initially crafting components like speakers for brands such as Meizu before launching its own lineup. The name blends "Fi" from hi-fi fidelity with "iO" symbolizing digital one's and zeros, evoking authentic sound and modern convenience, while its Chinese rendering "飞傲" conveys innovative vitality. From modest beginnings, the company expanded into a 15,000-square-meter industrial complex by 2022, solidifying its role as a prolific developer of music-centric electronics.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of portable and desktop audio categories, with flagship strengths in high-resolution digital audio players (DAPs), USB DACs, portable headphone amplifiers, and in-ear monitors. Its portfolio also encompasses cables, desktop amps, and select speakers, prioritizing versatile, high-performance solutions for on-the-go and home listening without venturing into turntables or large-scale hi-fi systems.
Fiio occupies a commanding mid-tier position in the global audiophile market, renowned for delivering premium sound quality at accessible prices that punch above their weight. Praised by enthusiasts for reliability and value, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking refined portable setups over luxury excess, backed by worldwide distribution and a track record of user-acclaimed innovations.
