The D70 Pro SABRE is a notably well-equipped, transparent DAC rather than a merely fashionable upgrade. At £445, though, this listing is clearly ambitious against the five comparable asks: the median is £372 and even the 75th percentile is £373. Unless it is immaculate with full packaging and warranty, the price needs negotiating.
It remains an appealing buy at the right figure. You get balanced XLR and RCA outputs, USB, AES, optical, coaxial and Bluetooth, plus preamp functionality and an excellent color display; its ESS-based implementation is technically very strong and suits both separates and active speakers. I’d be interested around £360–£380, with the remote, power supply and original accessories confirmed. At £445, the seller is asking a noticeable premium for a DAC whose used-market comparables say otherwise.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
