£136 is above fair value for this one, sitting well over the £119 75th percentile and far enough from the £99 median to feel ambitious rather than competitive.
That said, this is a respected little DAC/amp for desktop use: clean, neutral output, strong measured performance, and an easy plug-and-play upgrade for anyone wanting a tidy all-in-one box. If it’s genuinely clean, with the remote and original power supply included, the appeal is convenience rather than rarity. At this price I’d only lean in if you specifically want this model and the condition/accessories are excellent; otherwise there’s better value closer to the typical used range.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
