Säljer min LAB12 DAC1 Reference för att finansiera ett annat köp. Jag är första ägaren och den är köpt av Reference Audio vintern 2025. Den är väl omhändertagen, i utmärkt skick och fungerar givetvis helt felfritt. Allting ingår, låda, manual etc. Priset är satt med utgångspunkt i tidigare annonseringar via HiFiShark. Eftersom det saknas svenska annonseringar har jag baserat priset på annonser inom eu. För den som vill läsa mer om DAC1 Reference finns en bra recension av St
This is a buyer’s market for this category, and kr20,000 lands essentially on top of the typical used range: right at the kr20,105 median and comfortably below the kr28,535 75th percentile. That makes it a fair, competitive asking price rather than a stretch, especially for a respected digital component with this kind of reputation.
The appeal here is straightforward: Lab 12 gear is generally valued for a refined, engaging presentation and a more “musical” than sterile take on digital playback, which keeps it on the short list for enthusiasts who want a serious DAC without chasing brand-new pricing. If the unit is clean and complete, the upside is a solid buy at a sensible level; just confirm basic completeness and operation, since with used DACs the real value is in condition, included accessories, and whether it’s ready to slot into a system without fuss.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Lab 12 is a Greek hi-fi brand founded in 2012 by Stratos Vichos in Athens, with a clear identity built around handmade tube electronics. The company was established to make valve gear feel more usable and less precious than the old stereotype of temperamental, obscure tube audio.
Its core product focus is tube amplification: integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, preamps, phono stages, and DACs. Available coverage and dealer listings point to a catalogue centered on models like the Integre4, Mighty, and DAC1 Reference, which reinforces that Lab 12 is primarily an electronics brand rather than one spanning speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables.
In the market, Lab 12 sits in the high-end niche boutique segment. It is known for artisanal construction, valve-based designs, and a slightly adventurous engineering identity that appeals to experienced listeners who want something distinctive rather than mainstream. It is not a mass-market brand, and its reputation is strongest among enthusiasts looking for serious, characterful tube hi-fi with a European boutique pedigree.
