This is a buyer’s market for DACs, and US$350 is a fair-to-slightly-strong asking price rather than a bargain. Your comparable listings put the median at US$287, with the middle 50% running from US$252 to US$395, so this sits comfortably within the normal range—above typical, but not overpriced.
The E70 remains a worthwhile buy for a transparent, highly resolving digital front end, with both balanced XLR and RCA outputs, USB, optical, coaxial, and Bluetooth connectivity. Its measured noise and distortion performance is unusually strong for the money, and it can also serve as a digital preamp with adjustable output levels. At US$350, condition, remote, power supply, Bluetooth antenna, and original packaging matter; complete and clean, it is a sensible purchase, though negotiating toward US$300 would improve the value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
