TotalDAC’s single-box DACs have a strong reputation for a very natural, dense, non-glary presentation, and the d1-single-mk2 sits high enough in the range that it still feels like a serious audiophile piece. At £3,067, this looks well under the maker’s historical new price of about £5,800 before tax, and comfortably below what a healthy used example would normally command, so it reads as a good buy rather than an ambitious ask.
That’s the appeal here: you’re getting a respected French R2R DAC that’s prized for ease, tone, and a presentation that stays composed without sounding etched. If it’s complete, working properly, and includes the proper PSU, remote, and any original packaging or service history, this is the sort of listing that rewards a quick decision. On a model like this, provenance matters more than nitpicking cosmetics.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
TotalDAC emerged in 2010 from the Brittany region of France, near the iconic Mont Saint-Michel, founded by Vincent Brient, an engineering graduate from Supelec with a passion for digital audio. Brient began designing active digital crossovers and DACs as a student, evolving his work while employed as a telecommunications technician. By 2010, demand from audiophile friends prompted him to formalize the company, handcrafting all products in France with a focus on precision engineering.
The brand specializes in high-performance discrete R2R ladder DACs and streamers, renowned for their natural, refined sound through innovative FPGA buffering, reclocking, and FIR filters that address non-oversampling frequency response. Complementing these are integrated preamplifiers, power amplifiers, loudspeakers, and cable accessories, enabling complete TotalDAC systems tailored for ultimate fidelity in digital playback.
Positioned firmly in the high-end boutique market, TotalDAC commands worldwide acclaim among discerning audiophiles seeking analog-like warmth from digital sources, often praised for banishing digital harshness. Models like the d1-unity earn top accolades, such as Stereophile's A+ rating, appealing to buyers who prioritize handmade French excellence over mass production.
