This is a buyer’s market for this category, and A$239 lands slightly below the A$261 median and just under the A$230–A$277 interquartile band, so it reads as a solid fair-to-good buy rather than a stretch. It’s not a screaming bargain, but it is priced attractively enough to move quickly if the unit is clean and fully functional.
That’s appealing because this is a well-liked balanced headphone amp: compact, quiet, and strong on control, with enough power and flexibility to suit a wide range of headphones without fuss. The main upside here is straightforward value if the condition is honest and any original power supply or packaging is included. For this model, I’d mainly check for scratchy controls, channel imbalance at low volume, and evidence of hard use; if those are fine, this looks like a sensible pickup.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
