Excellent condition, built like a tank. Expands a S-760 sampler with 2 stereo pairs/4 mono inputs, or can be used as a standalone da-converter with coaxial / optical input. 230V european power.
Against the recent used comps, US$121 is a solid buy: it sits below the US$117–US$290 interquartile range only by a hair, and well under the US$186 median, so this reads as cheap rather than merely fair. For a four-channel digital-to-analog box aimed at keeping an S-760 in the game, that’s the right zone for an impulse-friendly pickup.
The appeal here is straightforward: these Roland SCSI-era converter pieces are useful when you want to integrate older samplers into a modern setup without overpaying, and they tend to matter most to people already invested in that ecosystem. If it’s complete and functioning cleanly, the upside is convenience and niche utility; at US$121, I’d treat it as a worthwhile grab rather than a speculative flipper unless there’s a missing PSU, output issue, or other obvious functional doubt.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Roland Corporation traces its roots to Osaka, Japan, where Ikutaro Kakehashi founded the company on April 18, 1972, after leaving his earlier venture, Ace Electronic Industries. With a modest capital of 33 million yen and a focus on accessible technology, Kakehashi—himself a non-musician—launched Roland's debut products that year: the TR-33, TR-55, and TR-77 rhythm machines. These early drum machines embodied his vision of miniaturized, affordable gear for amateurs and hobbyists, setting the stage for a legacy in electronic music innovation.
While renowned for synthesizers, drum machines like the iconic TR-808 and TR-909, and digital pianos, Roland's hi-fi offerings center on audio interfaces such as the Rubix and BRIDGE CAST series, alongside mixers and production tools optimized for instrument connectivity. The brand prioritizes reliability and integration for music creation, streaming, and live performance rather than traditional consumer hi-fi categories like amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Roland commands a dominant position in the professional and prosumer electronic music market, influencing genres from techno to pop with gear trusted by amateurs and pros worldwide. It stands as a mid-to-high-tier powerhouse, far from vintage collector status, delivering battle-tested durability and cutting-edge features that prioritize functionality over boutique aesthetics.
