Offered is „Ideon Audio 3R Master Time Black Star – High-End USB-Reclocker (NEU / OVP)“ by Ideon Audio as new device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2842515041 ends on 26.12.2026 at 15:38 o'clock.
This is a fair ask, edging toward ambitious rather than a bargain. At €2,999, it sits above the recent used-market median of €2,807 and just clears the €2,903 75th-percentile mark; that is effectively new-money territory, so the original packaging and condition need to be genuinely excellent to justify it.
The Black Star is a serious USB reclocker, using ultra-low-jitter femto clocks, low-noise oscillators, and a triple linear power supply to regenerate, re-clock, and re-drive the signal. In a resolving system it can bring greater timing precision, spatial separation, low-level detail, and cleaner decay without thinning musical weight. Full accessories, proof of purchase, and an unmarked chassis would make this easier to recommend; otherwise, negotiating it nearer the median would improve the value considerably.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Ideon Audio: Brand Overview
Ideon Audio is a boutique Greek manufacturer founded in 1990 by Vassilis Tounas and George Ligerakis, establishing itself as a specialist in high-performance digital audio equipment. Based in Athens, the company emerged from a founding team of engineers with deep expertise in digital audio circuit design and power supply innovation, combined with a shared passion for extracting maximum fidelity from recorded music. This heritage of technical precision and audiophile sensibility has defined the brand's trajectory for over three decades.
The company's product portfolio centers on digital audio components, with particular distinction in digital-to-analog converters. Ideon's lineup includes the Absolute DAC—positioned as a flagship offering in the high-end market—alongside the Eos Series, Ayazi DAC mk2, and the 3R Master Time Black Star. These products reflect the brand's singular focus: revealing the music embedded within digital data through extended frequency response, dynamic accuracy, and sonic clarity. Rather than pursuing breadth across multiple categories, Ideon has maintained disciplined specialization in premium digital playback.
Ideon occupies the upper echelon of the high-end audio market, competing among the world's most accomplished digital audio manufacturers. The Absolute DAC has earned particular recognition as one of the industry's premier implementations, garnering global critical acclaim. This positioning reflects Ideon's commitment to extreme performance rather than mass-market accessibility—a niche boutique approach that appeals to discerning audiophiles willing to invest substantially for demonstrable sonic excellence.
