Offered is „Tube DAC“ by Nagra Professional as second-hand device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 916592371 ends on 26.12.2026 at 10:53 o'clock.
At €15,000, the obvious alternative is waiting for another Nagra Tube DAC rather than stretching to a newer converter: this one is a strong deal, sitting below the €15,050 25th-percentile asking price and well under the €15,087 median from seven recent comparables. For a good-condition example, that is genuinely attractive value.
The Tube DAC remains a compelling high-end choice for its natural, spacious presentation, tube-driven analogue stage, hand-wound transformers, and support for PCM up to 384 kHz and DSD256. Its separate power supply and balanced/RCA connectivity also make it unusually flexible in a serious system. Confirm that the matching PSU, correct cabling, remote, and original accessories are included; check tube hours and USB operation, but these are sensible checks rather than reasons to resist at this price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Nagra traces its origins to 1951, when Polish engineer Stefan Kudelski, then a 22-year-old student fleeing to Switzerland, invented the Nagra I—a groundbreaking miniature audio recorder whose name derives from the Polish word for “will record.” This portable marvel quickly gained traction in radio, cinema, and music, with the Nagra II and III models in the mid- to late 1950s revolutionizing professional sound capture. Honored with Oscars in 1978 and 1991, the brand built a legacy of Swiss precision engineering under the Kudelski family, spinning off into Audio Technology Switzerland SA in 2012 while upholding over 70 years of analog excellence from its Lake Geneva facility in Romanel.
Today, Nagra focuses on high-end hi-fi equipment alongside its professional audio recorders and security devices, offering meticulously crafted components like amplifiers, preamplifiers, CD players, DACs, and their pioneering turntable and tonearm system. Rooted in analog mastery, these products emphasize flawless sound reproduction, blending heritage tape technology with modern digital interfaces for audiophiles seeking uncompromised fidelity.
Nagra commands a revered position in the ultra-high-end market, synonymous with boutique luxury and technical supremacy for discerning buyers. Its gear appeals to collectors and professionals alike, prized for durability in high-stakes environments—from film sets to critical listening rooms—where Swiss craftsmanship delivers warmth, low noise, and precision that few rivals match.
