Seller's Description

Sonnet DAC silver in colour includes MQA module

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Sonnet’s DACs have a strong reputation for combining very high-end resolution with an organic, musical presentation, so this sits in the “serious enthusiast” tier rather than budget kit. At £1,750, it’s a touch above the £1,631 median of your recent comparables, but still comfortably inside the market spread and well below the £2,802 75th percentile, so I’d call it fair to slightly firm, not ambitious.

For a clean excellent example, the appeal is straightforward: this is the kind of converter people buy when they want top-tier timing, texture and low-level detail without the etched sound some DACs can bring. If it’s complete and well cared for, the price makes sense for a genuinely high-end used piece. I’d mainly be checking that any original PSU, remote, or packaging is included, since those extras matter more at this level and can help support resale value.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Sonnet Digital Audio

Sonnet Digital Audio is a Dutch high-end audio brand founded by Cees Ruijtenberg, who came to the company after a long background in digital audio engineering and also had ties to Metrum Acoustics. Its present-day identity appears to have emerged around 2019, when Ruijtenberg launched Sonnet Digital Audio after the buy-out of Metrum’s DAC business.

The brand is best known for digital-to-analog converters and related digital hardware, especially its R2R and non-oversampling DAC designs such as the Morpheus and Pasithea. It also offers matching digital components and modules, but it is not known as a maker of speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables in the way broader hi-fi brands are.

In the market, Sonnet Digital Audio sits firmly in the boutique high-end segment. Its products are positioned as specialist, audiophile-focused converters built in the Netherlands, with pricing and distribution that place them above mass-market gear and aimed at buyers who prioritize technical refinement, low-volume craftsmanship, and a distinctive house sound.
