Should you jump on this at £70, or wait for a better entry point? It’s a bit above the recent used market: with a median of £51 and a 75th percentile of £63, this sits on the ambitious side rather than being a clean bargain.
The good news is the D10S is a well-liked, no-nonsense USB DAC with genuinely strong measured performance and a useful digital-output/bridge function, so it earns its keep in a simple desktop or transport setup. At this price, the buy makes most sense if it’s tidy, fully working, and comes with the right cables or original extras; otherwise, I’d want it closer to the mid-£50s before feeling excited.
