What are you getting that justifies paying at the top of the recent market? At £115, this sits right around the 75th percentile of the last 25 comparable UK listings, above the £96 median and well above the £86 25th percentile, so it reads as fair but firm, not a bargain.
That said, this is a well-liked desktop DAC/amp for clean sound, low noise, and straightforward all-in-one convenience, so a tidy example can still be worth the money if you want a compact upgrade path. The real upside here is condition and completeness: if it’s original-owner, lightly used, and includes the remote, power supply, and any packaging, it’s easier to justify; if anything is missing, I’d push for a better number.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
