New pricing varies considerably by version and termination, but AudioQuest’s Diamond range has been positioned as a flagship cable, with original interconnect examples costing well above this level; one discontinued Diamond AES/EBU model retailed at €1,799. At €440, this listing sits almost exactly on the used-market median of €439, so it is a fair price rather than a bargain, and comfortably below the €500 upper quartile.
The appeal is the construction: solid high-purity silver conductors, substantial shielding/noise-dissipation measures, and the brand’s DBS system on many versions. It is a worthwhile buy for a revealing system where you specifically want this cable’s voicing and build, but “DIAMOND” covers RCA, XLR, digital, coaxial, and optical variants, so exact type and length matter. Confirm the terminations, DBS battery pack, and original packaging before committing; with those details and good condition, €440 is sensible.
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.
