New, this little DAC/amp landed around £50–£55, so £40 used is a reasonable ask rather than a steal, but still fair if it’s clean and fully working. I’d call it close to market value for a current, budget portable rather than a bargain-bin price, so it makes sense mainly if you want one now and prefer buying used.
The appeal here is the tiny size, Bluetooth plus USB flexibility, and the fact it’s genuinely well-liked for sounding more capable than its price suggests, with balanced output and app features that add value. If it includes the battery, cable, and box, that helps; if anything is missing, I’d want a bit off. For a compact travel DAC/amp, it’s a sensible buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Fiio, founded in 2007 in Guangzhou, China, emerged as a specialist in portable audio gear, initially crafting components like speakers for brands such as Meizu before launching its own lineup. The name blends "Fi" from hi-fi fidelity with "iO" symbolizing digital one's and zeros, evoking authentic sound and modern convenience, while its Chinese rendering "飞傲" conveys innovative vitality. From modest beginnings, the company expanded into a 15,000-square-meter industrial complex by 2022, solidifying its role as a prolific developer of music-centric electronics.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of portable and desktop audio categories, with flagship strengths in high-resolution digital audio players (DAPs), USB DACs, portable headphone amplifiers, and in-ear monitors. Its portfolio also encompasses cables, desktop amps, and select speakers, prioritizing versatile, high-performance solutions for on-the-go and home listening without venturing into turntables or large-scale hi-fi systems.
Fiio occupies a commanding mid-tier position in the global audiophile market, renowned for delivering premium sound quality at accessible prices that punch above their weight. Praised by enthusiasts for reliability and value, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking refined portable setups over luxury excess, backed by worldwide distribution and a track record of user-acclaimed innovations.
