Condition is unknown, so at US$279 this lands a bit above the typical used market for this DAC: it clears the US$257 75th percentile on your recent comp set, so I’d call it ambitious rather than fair. It is not wildly out of line, but it’s priced past the range where I’d expect an easy buy without some extra value.
What keeps it interesting is the model itself: the DX7s is still a respected all-in-one DAC/preamplifier with a strong reputation for clean, low-noise conversion and useful inputs/outputs, so it’s a sensible piece if you want a compact hub for a desktop or secondary system. At this price, I’d want the listing to include the remote, original box, and confirmation that all functions work cleanly; if those are missing, I’d push back harder.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
