Offered is „2-Quote DAC - Sil“ by Chord Electronics as new device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8360109377 ends on 20.10.2026 at 06:32 o'clock.
Chord’s compact DACs have a strong reputation for punchy, highly resolving sound in a small box, and this one sits in the sweet spot of the line. At €1,198, it is below the €1,256 median of recent comparables and just under the typical middle of the market, so it reads as a fair-to-strong buy rather than merely acceptable.
That makes it especially appealing if the unit is clean, fully working, and includes the original power supply and any box/papers. Buyers usually like these for their excellent timing, scale, and detail retrieval, plus broad compatibility from USB, coax, and optical inputs. If it’s genuinely in tidy condition, this is the kind of listing that should move quickly.

Chord Electronics, a British high-fidelity powerhouse, traces its roots to the aviation industry. Founded in 1989 by John Franks, a former Marconi Avionics engineer, the company emerged from his early 1980s innovations in ultra-reliable, high-frequency switching power supplies for aircraft electronics. Initially too costly for commercial viability, the designs became feasible with advancing components, launching Chord from its Kent headquarters in a renovated pumphouse that remains its manufacturing heart.
The brand excels in premium amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), blending Franks' analog prowess with digital expertise from FPGA specialist Rob Watts. Early power amplifiers quickly won acclaim from professional studios like the BBC, Abbey Road, and Skywalker Sound, establishing credibility before shifting focus to consumer hi-fi. Iconic products like the Hugo and Mojo DACs exemplify their boundary-pushing approach, alongside integrated amps and streamers, all handcrafted in the UK without compromise on power, precision, or musicality.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Chord commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising engineering, aerospace-grade reliability, and bold innovation. Independent and proudly British, it sets benchmarks in transparency and dynamics, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance over mass-market concessions.
