Condition is unknown, so the price is the main signal here: at £126, it sits above the £115 75th percentile for recent GBP comparables, so this reads as ambitious rather than fair. Against a £96 median and £85 25th percentile, it would need to be unusually clean or notably better than average to justify the premium.
That said, this is a well-regarded desktop DAC/amp combo for its low-noise, transparent sound and all-in-one convenience, so it remains a sensible piece to own if you want a tidy digital front end. The upside is strongest if it’s in excellent condition, includes the original remote and power supply, and has been lightly used; without those positives, I’d treat £126 as a stretch unless the listing’s condition turns out to be exceptionally good.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
