Offered is „Formula XHD Rev 2“ by Aqua/Acoustic Quality as second-hand device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5474045375 ends on 11.10.2026 at 11:37 o'clock.
The €6,000 asking price looks fair, sitting just above the €5,983 median and well inside the normal used range between €4,341 and €7,542.
That makes this a sensible buy if the speakers are clean, complete, and properly cared for. Aqua’s better pieces tend to appeal to buyers who value refined build, careful voicing, and a presentation that rewards good upstream gear, so a good-condition example at this level is more “buy with confidence” than “bargain hunt.” The main upside here is simple: you’re not paying a premium, and if the original packaging, documentation, and any matching accessories are present, that adds real value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Aqua Acoustic Quality, founded in 2010 in Milan, Italy, emerged from the vision of product designer and CEO Cristian Anelli, alongside electronics specialist Stefano Jelo. Operating as a boutique two-man team in the city's Opera district, the company embodies a hands-on ethos, with Anelli crafting circuits and Jelo managing outreach. This Italian heritage roots Aqua in a tradition of meticulous engineering, prioritizing sonic purity over commercial trends from its inception.
The brand focuses intently on digital audio reproduction, excelling in high-end DACs such as the acclaimed Formula xHD, La Voce, and La Scala models—some featuring discrete designs and tube output stages for refined analog-like warmth. Complementing these are network interfaces like the LinQ, CD transports including the La Diva M2, and a select range of speakers: the Tenore, Contralto, and flagship Mimesis. This narrow specialization underscores their mastery of the digital domain, shunning broader categories like amplifiers or turntables.
Positioned as a niche high-end contender, Aqua Acoustic Quality commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its hand-built, innovation-driven gear that recreates live music's fidelity. Free from market fashions, their Milan-made products—often showcased at events like Rocky Mountain Audio Fest—earn praise in specialist circles for exceptional transparency and build, appealing to buyers seeking true hi-fi excellence over mass appeal.
