At A$245, this sits just below the A$259 median of your recent AUD comparables and a touch under the A$278 75th percentile, so it reads as a solid fair buy with mild upside rather than a bargain-basement steal. It’s close enough to the centre of the market that I’d call it sensibly priced, especially if the unit is clean and working properly.
That makes sense for a well-regarded solid-state headphone amp: the appeal is the clean, powerful, low-noise drive and the fact that it’s a straightforward, high-performance piece of kit rather than a fussy one. If it comes with the original PSU and is in genuinely good shape, that’s the sort of used listing I’d happily shortlist; with condition unknown, I’d mainly want confirmation of normal operation, quiet channels, and no scratchy pots or connector issues.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
