At £312, this sits above the £267 75th percentile, so it reads as ambitious versus the typical used market; it is still not wildly out of line for a desirable current-gen DAC, but it is priced toward the top end of recent comparables. Against a £126 median and £74 lower quartile, you’d want the condition and accessory package to be genuinely strong before paying full ask.
The upside is that this is a well-regarded modern DAC from a maker known for clean, measured, low-noise digital conversion and strong feature sets for the money, so a tidy example can be a very satisfying long-term piece. If it includes the original box, remote, PSU, and all digital accessories, that strengthens the case; if not, I’d treat the price as needing negotiation rather than an easy buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
