DSPeaker Anti-mode 2.0 Dual Core Room Correction (DSP) The DSpeaker Anti-mode 2.0 Dual Core is highly acclaimed digital room correction signal processor, digital preamp & DAC. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/dspeaker-anti-mode-20-dualcore-digital-signal-processor/ I've used mine with excellent results in my primary and secondary systems most recently enjoying a small pair of Sonus Faber Toy Tower's in a small bedroom which I use as a home office. Its primary function is room correction, and it can also function as a digital preamp. It is also a decent DAC and can be used in many
At A$800, this listing is ambitious for a used Dual DSPeaker Anti-Mode 2.0, sitting well above the median of A$457 and the 75th percentile of A$637 from your recent AUD comparables. While the current retail price hovers around A$1,800–A$1,900 (converted from ~EUR 899 or US$1,199), the used market for this generation has softened significantly, making A$800 a steep ask unless the unit includes the original remote and measurement microphone.
The Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core remains a top-tier bass room-correction processor that delivers exceptional sonic quality and effective DSP from 16Hz to 150Hz (customizable to 500Hz), acting as a preamp, DAC, and parametric equalizer in one. If this listing is from an original owner with all accessories intact and the unit is in excellent condition, it could still be a worthwhile buy for enthusiasts seeking high-end correction without the new price tag, but the premium over typical used values warrants careful verification of included items.

Dual emerged from the Black Forest region of Germany in 1907, when brothers Christian and Joseph Steidinger began manufacturing clockwork and gramophone components in St. Georgen. The company adopted its now-iconic name in 1927 after pioneering dual-mode power supplies that allowed gramophones to operate from either mains electricity or mechanical wind-up mechanisms. This innovation marked the beginning of Dual's transition from component supplier to full-fledged audio manufacturer, establishing a foundation of engineering precision that would define the brand for decades.
Dual built its reputation primarily as a turntable specialist, becoming Europe's largest turntable manufacturer by the post-war era with over 3,000 employees across multiple factories. Beyond vinyl playback, the company expanded into cassette players, CD players, and broader consumer electronics throughout the 1970s and 1980s, demonstrating versatility across analog and digital formats. The company's focus on mechanical excellence and stable drive systems earned it recognition as a dependable, quality-focused manufacturer throughout its European heyday.
Today, Dual occupies a fragmented market position following corporate restructuring in the 1990s and subsequent ownership changes. The original German turntable line continues production in St. Georgen under Alfred Fehrenbacher GmbH, maintaining traditional manufacturing standards and appealing to vintage enthusiasts and collectors. Separately, Namsung Electronics markets Dual-branded consumer electronics in the Americas at accessible price points. The brand's legacy rests primarily on its classic turntables, which remain highly sought after by collectors and audiophiles valuing precision engineering and heritage craftsmanship.
