Offered is „Dave“ by Chord Electronics as second-hand device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3753540587 ends on 25.10.2026 at 07:40 o'clock.
Against the recent used market, €5,500 sits comfortably below the €5,460–€7,462 spread and well under the €6,440 median, so this is a strong buy rather than a merely fair one. For a DAVE in good condition, that’s attractive pricing and leaves room for a quick sale if the unit is clean and complete.
DAVE remains one of the most respected DACs for its detail, timing, and unforced transparency, so the appeal here is straightforward: top-tier performance at a notably softer-than-market ask. The real upside is that a well-kept example can be a long-term keep, and at this level the key checks are simple—confirm proper operation, original PSU/accessories, and that there’s no history of repair or display issues.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Chord Electronics, a British high-fidelity powerhouse, traces its roots to the aviation industry. Founded in 1989 by John Franks, a former Marconi Avionics engineer, the company emerged from his early 1980s innovations in ultra-reliable, high-frequency switching power supplies for aircraft electronics. Initially too costly for commercial viability, the designs became feasible with advancing components, launching Chord from its Kent headquarters in a renovated pumphouse that remains its manufacturing heart.
The brand excels in premium amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), blending Franks' analog prowess with digital expertise from FPGA specialist Rob Watts. Early power amplifiers quickly won acclaim from professional studios like the BBC, Abbey Road, and Skywalker Sound, establishing credibility before shifting focus to consumer hi-fi. Iconic products like the Hugo and Mojo DACs exemplify their boundary-pushing approach, alongside integrated amps and streamers, all handcrafted in the UK without compromise on power, precision, or musicality.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Chord commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising engineering, aerospace-grade reliability, and bold innovation. Independent and proudly British, it sets benchmarks in transparency and dynamics, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance over mass-market concessions.
