Offered is „Venus 15th Anniversary Edition“ by DENAFRIPS 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 9692528548 ends on 28.10.2026 at 13:36 o'clock.
Is €3,000 the kind of number that makes this Venus an easy yes, or is it sitting a bit high for the version and condition on offer? For a used Venus/Venus II, that asking price reads fair-to-slightly-strong rather than a steal: comparable second-hand examples have been seen around €2,050 for a Venus II and roughly €2,550–€3,580 for higher-spec used listings, while the newer Venus 15th lands much higher new.
What you’re buying is one of Denafrips’ most respected R-2R DACs: rich tone, excellent timing, and a presentation that stays musical without sounding soft. In good condition, it’s a solid enthusiast piece if the listing includes the original box, remote, and any accessories, and if the exact version is clear. At €3,000, I’d want confirmation whether this is a Venus, Venus II, or 15th, because that changes the value call a lot.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Denafrips emerged in 2012 from Guangzhou, China, founded by Mr. Zhao, an electronics engineer with a Bachelor’s degree and over 15 years at a major OEM manufacturer. Raised amid a family of trained engineers, Zhao launched the brand as a modest five-person venture in the Panyu district, where it has since expanded into a 15,000-square-foot facility employing 40 to 90 staff. All research, development, assembly, quality control, and most manufacturing occur in-house, embodying a commitment to self-reliance in a hub of high-end audio production.
The brand specializes in proprietary discrete R-2R digital-to-analog converters (DACs), its cornerstone products, alongside CD transports, digital-to-digital converters, preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and headphone amplifiers. This lineup, grown from four initial DACs to over a dozen, prioritizes analog-like warmth and natural timbre over sterile measurements, with the name Denafrips acronymizing values like Dynamic, Exquisite, Natural, Attractive, Fidelity, Refined, Intoxicating, Pure, and Sophisticated.
Denafrips holds a strong position in the high-end audiophile market, celebrated for innovative engineering, meticulous craftsmanship, and exceptional value that challenges pricier Western rivals. Positive reviews and owner feedback worldwide affirm its sonic prowess, backed by a three-year warranty and direct-to-consumer sales, cementing its status as a Chinese pioneer delivering refined digital purity without inflated premiums.
