A$170 is a strong buy against your local market data: it sits just above the A$138 25th percentile and a touch below the A$178 median, so this is priced on the sensible side rather than stretched. With only four comps, I’d call it fair-to-good value, but close enough to the lower end that a clean example leans buyer-friendly.
What makes it worthwhile is that AudioQuest’s Carbon digital leads are generally bought for lower-jitter, well-shielded digital transfer, so the upside is in getting a nicely built cable without paying new-cable money. The excellent condition matters here, and if it’s the correct length and comes with both ends clean and intact, this is the kind of accessory that can slot into a serious digital front end without much fuss.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in 1980 by Bill Low in Irvine, California, AudioQuest traces its roots to 1978, when Low, a hi-fi store manager and avid enthusiast, began crafting superior audio cables to overcome the signal degradation he observed in existing products. Dissatisfied with subpar materials and construction, he prioritized advanced conductors like 6N copper, innovative insulation, and precise geometries, quickly earning acclaim after demos at events like the 1979 Summer CES. This passion-driven origin propelled AudioQuest from a cable innovator—first U.S. company to advance signal transmission in 1985—to a global force in high-performance audio.
While renowned for its expansive lineup of analog, digital, and AC power cables, including HDMI for video, AudioQuest has broadened into USB DACs and headphone amps, highlighted by the multi-award-winning DragonFly series launched in 2012. The brand also offers Niagara and PowerQuest power conditioners, alongside custom-install solutions, all engineered to maximize system fidelity without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or turntables.
AudioQuest commands a premium position in the high-end market, supplying thousands of specialist retailers across 60 countries as the dominant cable provider for discerning audiophiles. Its relentless innovation, from conductor purity to dielectric design, delivers tangible performance gains, cementing a reputation for value and musicality that serious hi-fi buyers trust.
