£389 is ambitious here, sitting above the £365 75th percentile and clearly past the fair-value zone for recent used sales. It’s not wildly out of line for a clean boxed unit, but it’s a seller’s price rather than a bargain.
The upside is real: the unit is well-regarded as a compact all-in-one streamer, DAC, and headphone amp with strong power, broad connectivity, and a polished Android interface, so it can replace a small stack neatly. The included keypad adds a bit of practical value too. At this level, I’d want confirmation that the screen, network functions, headphone outputs, and accessories are all working perfectly; otherwise, I’d be patient and wait for something closer to the median.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Fiio, founded in 2007 in Guangzhou, China, emerged as a specialist in portable audio gear, initially crafting components like speakers for brands such as Meizu before launching its own lineup. The name blends "Fi" from hi-fi fidelity with "iO" symbolizing digital one's and zeros, evoking authentic sound and modern convenience, while its Chinese rendering "飞傲" conveys innovative vitality. From modest beginnings, the company expanded into a 15,000-square-meter industrial complex by 2022, solidifying its role as a prolific developer of music-centric electronics.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of portable and desktop audio categories, with flagship strengths in high-resolution digital audio players (DAPs), USB DACs, portable headphone amplifiers, and in-ear monitors. Its portfolio also encompasses cables, desktop amps, and select speakers, prioritizing versatile, high-performance solutions for on-the-go and home listening without venturing into turntables or large-scale hi-fi systems.
Fiio occupies a commanding mid-tier position in the global audiophile market, renowned for delivering premium sound quality at accessible prices that punch above their weight. Praised by enthusiasts for reliability and value, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking refined portable setups over luxury excess, backed by worldwide distribution and a track record of user-acclaimed innovations.
