Our Thoughts RADAR AI

At €3,100, this Sonnet Pasithea is a strong bargain, sitting well below the used market’s 25th percentile of €3,268. With the median at €3,342, you’re getting this flagship R2R DAC for roughly €240 less than the typical asking price in the used market.

The Pasithea is widely regarded as an end-game non-oversampling DAC, delivering a life-like soundstage with vanishingly low distortion and a -160 dB noise floor that reveals micro-dynamics often lost in other converters. Its eight SDA-3 modules (four per channel, differential) and versatile inputs (USB up to 384kHz, I2S, Coax, AES/EBU, Optical) make it a future-proof centerpiece. At this price, in good condition, it’s a compelling buying opportunity for anyone seeking top-tier digital-to-analog performance without flagship new pricing.

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.
