Condition is unknown, so the main question is whether it comes complete and clean, but at US$150 it lands exactly on the median of the recent comp set and is clearly fair, not ambitious. With the 25th percentile also at US$150 and the 75th at US$152, this is essentially right in the market’s sweet spot rather than a bargain or a stretch.
That makes it a sensible buy if the unit is working properly and includes the usual essentials like power supply and remote. The E50 is well regarded for being a transparent, low-noise DAC with a tidy feature set and strong measured performance, so the value here is in getting a straightforward, reliable desktop DAC without paying extra for the name. If the seller can confirm full functionality and accessories, this is a solid grab at market price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
