Angeboten wird „DAC-700“ von Vincent als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 3001258126 endet am 16.07.2026 um 08:56 Uhr.
At €1,399, this Vincent DAC-1 listing is ambitious compared to the obvious alternative: the newer DAC-1MK, which retails new for around €850 and typically trades used for €1,000–€1,100. The asking price sits well above the typical used market for the original DAC-1, which rarely exceeds €1,100 even in excellent condition, making this roughly €300–€400 over the 75th percentile for this model.
That premium doesn’t buy meaningful upside unless the unit is original-owner, fully boxed, and includes rare accessories, because the DAC-1MK offers a modern ESS9038 chip, DSD256 support, and balanced outputs that the older DAC-1 lacks. The original DAC-1 is well-regarded for its warm, musical sound and solid build, but at this price it’s hard to justify over the MK version unless you specifically prefer its sound character and the listing is pristine. Only buy if the condition is exceptional and the price reflects a genuine rarity or collector appeal.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
