This is a fair ask, sitting almost exactly on the used-market median of A$751. It is neither a bargain nor an ambitious price: the broader comparable range runs from roughly A$562 at the 25th percentile to A$1,046 at the 75th, so A$750 is appropriately positioned if the cable is complete and genuinely clean.
The Diamond is AudioQuest’s high-end interconnect, valued for its solid Perfect-Surface Silver construction, low-noise design, strong detail retrieval, and focused imaging. It makes most sense in a revealing system where the source and amplification are already sorted, rather than as a first upgrade. With condition listed only as unknown, confirm the exact cable type and length, inspect connectors and jacket, and check that any 72V DBS battery pack is included where applicable; verified completeness would make this a sound, market-correct buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in 1980 by Bill Low in Irvine, California, AudioQuest traces its roots to 1978, when Low, a hi-fi store manager and avid enthusiast, began crafting superior audio cables to overcome the signal degradation he observed in existing products. Dissatisfied with subpar materials and construction, he prioritized advanced conductors like 6N copper, innovative insulation, and precise geometries, quickly earning acclaim after demos at events like the 1979 Summer CES. This passion-driven origin propelled AudioQuest from a cable innovator—first U.S. company to advance signal transmission in 1985—to a global force in high-performance audio.
While renowned for its expansive lineup of analog, digital, and AC power cables, including HDMI for video, AudioQuest has broadened into USB DACs and headphone amps, highlighted by the multi-award-winning DragonFly series launched in 2012. The brand also offers Niagara and PowerQuest power conditioners, alongside custom-install solutions, all engineered to maximize system fidelity without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or turntables.
AudioQuest commands a premium position in the high-end market, supplying thousands of specialist retailers across 60 countries as the dominant cable provider for discerning audiophiles. Its relentless innovation, from conductor purity to dielectric design, delivers tangible performance gains, cementing a reputation for value and musicality that serious hi-fi buyers trust.
