Condition is unknown, but at £250 this lands below the £288 25th percentile and well under the £299 median, so it looks like a strong buy rather than a merely fair one. For this model, that’s enough discount to make the risk/reward attractive even before seeing photos or provenance.
Bel Canto’s DACs are well liked for a clean, musical, low-fatigue presentation with good timing and a refined top end, so the appeal here is straightforward: a compact, respected converter at a price that leaves room for a service check or replacement cables. With an older DAC like this, I’d still want confirmation it powers up cleanly and includes the right input/output leads, but at this price the listing reads as a worthwhile opportunity.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
