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 5699688222 ends on 01.12.2026 at 17:32 o'clock.
Good condition at EUR 15,000 makes this a strong deal rather than merely a fair buy. It sits below the recent comparable range: EUR 15,146 at the 25th percentile, EUR 15,235 median, and EUR 15,314 at the 75th. For a clean example, that discount is meaningful, provided the listing includes the correct external Nagra power supply and both power leads.
The Tube DAC remains a serious, unusually flexible converter, with PCM up to 384 kHz, DSD256, USB, AES/EBU and S/PDIF inputs, plus a balanced analogue stage. Its tube-based output section is valued for natural, spacious presentation rather than clinical precision. Check the tube’s operating hours and listen for hiss, clicks, distortion or reduced openness; Nagra specifies roughly 5,000 hours minimum tube life. With the PSU, accessories and fault-free operation confirmed, EUR 15,000 looks like a genuine buying opportunity.
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.
