At £9,337, this sits right on the median of the recent comparable market, so it reads as a fair buy rather than a bargain or an ask that’s pushing it. It is not cheap enough to call a steal, but it is comfortably in the zone where a clean example can make sense for someone who wants the unit without waiting for a unicorn price.
The DA2 is well regarded for its effortless, highly resolving presentation and serious digital pedigree, so the real appeal here is getting reference-level conversion from a known heavyweight at a sensible market number. If the unit is complete, properly boxed, and functions cleanly, this is the kind of listing that rewards a focused buyer more than a bargain hunter.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
EMM Labs and Meitner Audio trace their roots to Ed Meitner, a pioneering audio engineer born in Austria who immigrated to Canada in 1969. With a career spanning over 50 years, Meitner contributed to landmark projects like the world's first automated mixing console at Olive Electrodynamics in Montreal and test equipment for Amber. He founded Museatex in the early 1980s before establishing EMM Labs in 1998 in Calgary, Alberta, followed by Meitner Audio in 2012, both carrying forward his legacy of Canadian-engineered excellence.
