Offered is „Dan Clark Audio (DCA) Noire X 790 €“ by Dan Clark Audio as second-hand device from the category „Wire bound Headphone“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 442408512 ends on 02.12.2026 at 12:32 o'clock.
This is a seller’s market only in the sense that good examples remain desirable, but €790 is an ambitious ask for this category: it sits above the €619 median and above the €762 75th percentile from five recent comparable listings. At “good” condition rather than near-mint, the price needs especially strong completeness and provenance to make sense; otherwise, negotiation toward the high-€600s or low-€700s would be sensible.
The NOIRE remains a very capable closed-back planar: compact, comfortable, well built, and notably detailed, with a surprisingly open presentation, quick transients, and taut bass. Its folding design and hard case add genuine practical value, while the removable cable and tuning-pad system are useful long-term features. At €790, check that the case, original cable, pads, and tuning accessories are all present and that the headband, pads, hinges, and connectors are clean. Without unusually pristine condition or a particularly complete package, this is a listing to negotiate rather than an automatic buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Dan Clark Audio, originally founded as MrSpeakers in 2012 by audio engineer Dan Clark in San Diego, California, traces its roots to the founder's lifelong passion for sound that began in childhood. With a background including work on Monitor Audio's premium Platinum Series speakers in the late 1990s and early headphone modifications for audiophiles, Clark bootstrapped the company through those sales, avoiding loans or investors to fund independent research and development.
The brand specializes exclusively in high-end planar magnetic headphones, offering both open-back and closed-back models renowned for innovative driver technology, such as proprietary designs protected by multiple US patents. Standouts include early releases like the Mad Dog and ETHER, alongside modern flagships emphasizing balanced acoustics, exceptional comfort, and lightweight engineering—handmade in the USA without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or other categories.
Positioned as a niche boutique leader in the ultra-premium headphone market, Dan Clark Audio commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its relentless pursuit of perfection, earning accolades from Hi-Fi+, The Absolute Sound, HFN, and The New York Times Wirecutter. Renamed in 2019, it prioritizes value-driven excellence over mass production, solidifying its status as an innovator in personal audio.
