This €9,990 ask for a used EMM Labs DA2 is a genuine bargain, sitting well below the typical used market range of roughly €18,000–€22,000 for this reference DAC. At this price, you are securing a flagship unit at less than half its original €25,000 USD launch value (approx. €23,000 EUR), making it an exceptional deal for a discerner of high-end sound.
The DA2 remains a cult favorite for its Meitner-designed MDAC2 single-bit discrete architecture, delivering unparalleled texture, speed, and DSD1024 processing that few modern DACs replicate. Its ability to handle PCM up to 192kHz and DSD via USB with zero latency makes it a timeless cornerstone for serious hi-fi systems. With original-owner condition and likely included accessories, this clean listing offers a rare opportunity to own a true reference without the typical premium.

EMM Labs and Meitner Audio trace their roots to Ed Meitner, a pioneering audio engineer born in Austria who immigrated to Canada in 1969. With a career spanning over 50 years, Meitner contributed to landmark projects like the world's first automated mixing console at Olive Electrodynamics in Montreal and test equipment for Amber. He founded Museatex in the early 1980s before establishing EMM Labs in 1998 in Calgary, Alberta, followed by Meitner Audio in 2012, both carrying forward his legacy of Canadian-engineered excellence.
The brands specialize in high-performance digital and analog playback systems, renowned for their cutting-edge DACs, CD/SACD transports, and integrated playback solutions like the multi-award-winning XDS1 and MA-2. Collaborating with Sony and Philips, they refined Super Audio CD (SACD) technology, pioneering the first complete multichannel DSD playback system and setting benchmarks for high-resolution converters used in professional music production.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, EMM Labs and Meitner command respect among discerning audiophiles for their unerring fidelity, innovative engineering, and emotional engagement. Their products, handcrafted by a tight-knit team of physicists, engineers, and music lovers, represent the pinnacle of state-of-the-art hi-fi, influencing industry standards while delivering reference-level performance to homes worldwide.
