Offered is „Tube DAC“ by Nagra Professional as second-hand device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5817132621 ends on 27.11.2026 at 09:10 o'clock.
What should make this one stand out is not whether it’s “cheap” in absolute terms, but whether you’re getting a properly sorted example at a price that sits just under the recent used norm. At €15,000, it lands a touch below the €15,039 25th percentile and below the €15,078 median, so this reads as a fair-to-good buy rather than a bargain-basement score.
The appeal here is the usual Nagra formula: beautifully judged, highly resolved digital with a natural, unforced presentation that still feels musically complete rather than etched. A clean example of a rarer, reference-level DAC like this is always interesting, especially if it’s been carefully owned and includes the right matching power-supply setup, remote, and boxwork. The only real caveat is the practical one: verify service history, tube condition, and that all required accessories are present, because those details matter more here than cosmetic fuss.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Nagra traces its origins to 1951, when Polish engineer Stefan Kudelski, then a 22-year-old student fleeing to Switzerland, invented the Nagra I—a groundbreaking miniature audio recorder whose name derives from the Polish word for “will record.” This portable marvel quickly gained traction in radio, cinema, and music, with the Nagra II and III models in the mid- to late 1950s revolutionizing professional sound capture. Honored with Oscars in 1978 and 1991, the brand built a legacy of Swiss precision engineering under the Kudelski family, spinning off into Audio Technology Switzerland SA in 2012 while upholding over 70 years of analog excellence from its Lake Geneva facility in Romanel.
Today, Nagra focuses on high-end hi-fi equipment alongside its professional audio recorders and security devices, offering meticulously crafted components like amplifiers, preamplifiers, CD players, DACs, and their pioneering turntable and tonearm system. Rooted in analog mastery, these products emphasize flawless sound reproduction, blending heritage tape technology with modern digital interfaces for audiophiles seeking uncompromised fidelity.
Nagra commands a revered position in the ultra-high-end market, synonymous with boutique luxury and technical supremacy for discerning buyers. Its gear appeals to collectors and professionals alike, prized for durability in high-stakes environments—from film sets to critical listening rooms—where Swiss craftsmanship delivers warmth, low noise, and precision that few rivals match.
