Chord Dave Digital Analog Converter (DAC) Hi, Just sold my Chord TT2 looking to upgrade to a Chord Dave. Please PM if you have a unit to sell. Would prefer local pickup but happy to buy interstate. Thanks Condition: Used Payment Method: Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By Nelsonkat 0 Comments AUD $11,000 Date: September 30, 20241 yr
This is an ambitious ask: at A$11,000, it sits well above the comparable used market, versus a median of A$5,857 and a 75th percentile of A$8,482. That’s roughly A$3,000 over the top of the recent range anchor, so it needs something extra to justify it.
The upside is that this is a seriously respected DAC: the TT2 is known for superb timing, low-noise detail, and a very natural, highly resolving presentation that still stays musical. For a buyer, the real draw is getting a top-tier digital front end that can anchor a system for years; if it comes with the original box, remote, PSU, and a clean ownership history, that helps, but at this price I’d want strong condition and complete accessories before considering it.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Chord Electronics, a British high-fidelity powerhouse, traces its roots to the aviation industry. Founded in 1989 by John Franks, a former Marconi Avionics engineer, the company emerged from his early 1980s innovations in ultra-reliable, high-frequency switching power supplies for aircraft electronics. Initially too costly for commercial viability, the designs became feasible with advancing components, launching Chord from its Kent headquarters in a renovated pumphouse that remains its manufacturing heart.
The brand excels in premium amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), blending Franks' analog prowess with digital expertise from FPGA specialist Rob Watts. Early power amplifiers quickly won acclaim from professional studios like the BBC, Abbey Road, and Skywalker Sound, establishing credibility before shifting focus to consumer hi-fi. Iconic products like the Hugo and Mojo DACs exemplify their boundary-pushing approach, alongside integrated amps and streamers, all handcrafted in the UK without compromise on power, precision, or musicality.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Chord commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising engineering, aerospace-grade reliability, and bold innovation. Independent and proudly British, it sets benchmarks in transparency and dynamics, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance over mass-market concessions.
