Should you call €220 a bargain for the SMSL SD-9? Yes, because at €220 this sits well below the typical used market—new retail is roughly €360–€370, so €220 is a clear bargain, likely under the 25th percentile of used pricing.
The SD-9 is well-regarded for its great sound and versatile connectivity, supporting all major formats (MQA, DSD, FLAC) and offering USB, coaxial, optical, AES/EBU, I²S, and Bluetooth outputs. It streams via DLNA and AirPlay, handles 4TB drives, and includes dual-band Wi-Fi. With original-owner condition and a clean listing, this is a strong buying opportunity for anyone wanting a compact, high-res network streamer without paying new price.
