Leema Libra DAC and preamp for sale, current rrp £7,735. This is a high quality dac and fully featured (and excellent sounding) preamp as well. Lots of reviews available online. It has a highly detailed but also fatigue free sound. One mark on the input selector which can be seen in the photos, otherwise perfect condition. Manual, remote and power cord included. I do not have the original box but it will be sent securely packed. Collection or I will arrange shipping at cost (it will be around £30). Reasonable offers considered.
Should you be paying £2,500 for this, or waiting for a better opportunity? Against your own market data, it’s above the £2,223 75th percentile, so this is an ambitious ask rather than a fair-market buy.
That said, the piece itself is a serious DAC/preamp with strong build, broad digital connectivity, and a reputation for detailed, highly resolving sound. If it’s genuinely excellent condition and complete with remote and original packaging, the appeal is real; the upside here is ownership of a high-end, versatile Leema unit that still has enthusiast cachet. At £2,500, though, I’d only jump if you specifically want this model and the seller can prove it’s been well cared for.

Leema Acoustics emerged in 1998 from the Welsh town of Welshpool, founded by former BBC engineers Lee Taylor and Mallory Nicholls, whose expertise in sound reproduction fueled a passion for pushing audio boundaries. Their debut, the Xen micro-monitor speakers, set the tone by delivering outsized performance from compact designs after years of rigorous research. Transitioning from loudspeakers to electronics, the duo leveraged their technical prowess, partnering with veteran manufacturer Davtec to handcraft products entirely in Wales using UK and European components.
The brand focuses on high-quality hi-fi separates, excelling in integrated amplifiers like the award-winning Tucana series, CD players such as the Antila and forthcoming Electron, digital-to-analogue converters, and phono stages. Early innovations in speaker design evolved into a three-tier lineup emphasizing robust build, precise sound reproduction, and cutting-edge features, with recent expansions like the 25th-anniversary Quantum range underscoring ongoing refinement.
Positioned as a boutique high-end contender among British hi-fi marques, Leema earns acclaim for meticulous engineering and musical excellence, appealing to discerning audiophiles and professionals. Handmade in limited runs, its products blend aesthetic appeal with top-tier performance, securing awards and a foothold in markets from the UK to the US, where they stand out for uncompromised quality in a crowded field.
