Chord Electronics Dave Digital Analog Converter (DAC) Amazing DAC, plenty of positive reviews on internet if you need more information about this DAC. It is time for me to upgrade into more complex setup and it is in mint condition and no scratches. I attached youtube video to show how good this DAC is, try to listen with headphones . If you like to see more video, just dm me. Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: Cash on Pickup, Bank Transfer Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By theking 2 Comments AUD $11,500 Date: January 13, 20251 yr
DAVE is a true reference-grade piece, and at A$11,500 this listing sits just above the A$11,212 median and well inside the normal used spread of A$9,833 to A$13,798. That makes it a fair ask, not a bargain, but also not a stretch for a unit in like_new condition.
What keeps it interesting is that it’s still one of the most respected all-in-one DAC/preamp/headphone amp designs out there, with serious performance and long-term desirability in the headphone crowd. If the box, remote, power supply, and original accessories are all present, this is the kind of clean used buy that makes sense for someone who wants endgame hardware without paying new-stock money.
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.
