D10 two-cs43131 cirrus logic dac chip 2xcs43131. Supports dsd256 hardware decoding and pcm 32bit/384khz. 4.4Mm balanced headphone output
At €64, this sits just under the D10’s mainstream new pricing, which is around €69–€81 depending on seller and VAT treatment, so it reads as a fair-to-good used buy rather than a steal. If it’s clean and fully working, the discount is enough to make sense without feeling aggressive.
What makes it worth a look is the feature set: a compact DAC/headphone amp with balanced output, modern dongle convenience, and enough drive for many IEMs and easy-to-drive headphones. Buyers should mainly confirm the connector set, cable condition, and that both outputs are functioning properly; at this price, no major red flags are obvious unless the listing is missing accessories or shows wear.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
