New, the iBasso D16 sold around US$1,499, so US$699 used is a genuine bargain—well below the comparable-listing 25th percentile of US$1,004 and roughly 39% of new pricing. Even allowing for unknown condition, that is unusually strong value if the unit is complete and working properly.
The D16 is a distinctive, powerful portable DAC/amp, with an elaborate 128-PWM DAC architecture, FPGA processing, balanced output, and enough drive for demanding headphones. It is known for a spacious, detailed, naturally toned presentation, while offering USB, optical, coaxial, 3.5mm, and 4.4mm connectivity. At this price, check battery health, charging, both headphone outputs, display, volume controls, and whether the charging cable and original accessories are included—but a clean, fully functional example would be an easy recommendation.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
