Is this one of the cleaner value buys in the current used DAC market? At US$125, it sits just under the US$129 median and a bit above the US$115 25th percentile, so this reads as a fair-to-good buy rather than a steal; not a bargain-bin score, but still priced sensibly for a well-known unit.
The appeal here is simple: this is a compact, respected desktop DAC/headphone amp that has earned its following by being easy to live with, transparent enough for serious listening, and flexible in a small rig. If the listing is complete and the unit has been well cared for, the value looks solid at this ask, especially for someone wanting a tidy all-in-one without chasing older, fussier gear.
