Offered is „Director Mk2.2 Schwarz +++ Verkauf im Kundenauftrag +++“ by SPL as second-hand device from the category „Pre-Amplifier / Processor“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3217218709 ends on 17.10.2026 at 06:11 o'clock.
Condition: good and the €2,800 ask lands just above the €2,630 median and a touch over the €2,807 75th percentile, so this reads as a fair-to-slightly-ambitious asking price rather than a bargain. It is not a bad number, but it is close enough to the upper end of recent comps that I’d want the seller to justify it with originality, box/manuals, or standout cosmetic state.
This is a well-regarded DAC/preamp with serious spec appeal and a reputation for clean, high-headroom playback, so a tidy example can be a very sensible buy if you want an all-in-one control center. At this level, the upside is in condition, completeness, and avoiding unit-hunt hassle; if it’s genuinely clean and fully set up, it’s still a credible shortlist piece.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
