Except for the small scratch on the top of the enclosure (see pictures) amp in excellent working condition. These Hypex modules sounds amazing. I upgraded to a monoblock Hypex.
This is a buyer’s market for this amp at the moment, and US$1,300 lands right at the top of the recent local market but still matches the median, so it reads as fair rather than a steal. With a 25th percentile of US$1,075 and a 75th percentile of US$1,350, this asking price is comfortably in the normal range for a clean example.
The appeal here is straightforward: the DPA-2 is a strong-sounding, high-current class-D power amp with plenty of control, grip, and headroom, and it has a good reputation with demanding speakers. If the unit is well cared for, complete, and truly clean, this is the kind of listing that can be worth paying fair market for; the main upside is getting a respected piece without waiting for a rarer bargain to appear.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Elac, a cornerstone of German audio engineering, traces its origins to September 1, 1926, when Electroacustic GmbH was founded in Kiel by Dr. Heinrich Hecht, Dr. Wilhelm Rudolph, and Gerhard Schmidt. Initially focused on sonar technology and underwater acoustics for maritime applications, the company peaked at 5,000 employees during World War II, supplying the Kriegsmarine. Postwar restrictions pivoted it toward consumer goods like sewing machines and radios, while distributing brands such as Sony, Fisher, and Nakamichi in Germany. By 1978, it divested its nautical division to concentrate on hi-fi, with Austrian CEO Wolfgang John taking the helm in 1981 to steer its modern trajectory.
Elac excels primarily in loudspeakers, renowned for innovations like the 1985 4Pi omnidirectional tweeter and the JET folded-ribbon tweeter, which deliver exceptional dispersion and clarity. Its portfolio spans high-end floorstanders, bookshelves, and compact systems across series like Vela, Solano, and Debut, alongside turntables such as the Miracord lineup, subwoofers, and electronics including amplifiers and DACs. This broad yet speaker-centric range caters to discerning setups from entry-level to reference-grade.
Positioned as a high-end mainstay with mid-tier accessibility, Elac commands respect among audiophiles for its precise German engineering, balancing value and performance without chasing boutique exclusivity. Under John's enduring leadership, it sustains a reputation for dynamic, transparent sound that rivals elite competitors, appealing to knowledgeable buyers seeking timeless quality over fleeting trends.
