Offered is „404 mit DAC und Phono“ by Moonriver Audio as exhibit from the category „Fully integrated Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9673708016 ends on 21.10.2026 at 07:18 o'clock.
This listing for a used Moonriver Audio 404 DAC at €2,450 is slightly ambitious but not unreasonable, sitting just above the 75th percentile of €2,376 from our three recent EUR comparables, though it remains well below the current new retail price for the integrated amplifier which starts around €3,149 to €4,950. Given the 404 integrated is a newer, higher-power model that replaced earlier DAC-only iterations, this price reflects a premium for a well-regarded, original-owner unit in good condition rather than a bargain, but it is fair for a clean example of this specific DAC generation before the integrated line took over.
The Moonriver 404 DAC is highly regarded for its transparent, low-distortion sound and robust build quality, offering excellent value as a standalone DAC when paired with a separate amp, especially since the integrated version now bundles phono and USB options that cost extra. At €2,450, this is a worthwhile buy for enthusiasts who want a dedicated, high-performance DAC without paying new prices, particularly if the listing includes original accessories and shows no signs of wear, making it a solid opportunity rather than a risky overpay.

This heritage reflects a passion for timeless audio reproduction, evoking the warmth of classic designs while leveraging modern precision.

These transistor-based powerhouses deliver tube-like warmth, exceptional dynamics, and tonal accuracy, prioritizing through-hole components for reliability and purity. Moonriver focuses squarely on amplification, eschewing diversification into speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables to hone its expertise in this core category.
Positioned as an exciting newcomer in the high-end market, Moonriver garners acclaim for its balanced, detailed sound that rivals established names. Hand-built quality and a user-oriented philosophy appeal to discerning hi-fi enthusiasts seeking mid-to-high-end performers with a boutique Swedish flair, blending accessibility with audiophile refinement.
