Odd DAC Pricing


I’m in the market for a Mola Mola Tambaqui and I’ve noticed that many listed for sale are of recent manufacture and only owned by the seller for a few months, yet they are reselling many thousands below retail. How can it be that an item that retails for $13,500 is so often resold only months later for $4000- $5000 off.  Sometimes the reseller is already the second owner in just 6-9 months.  Is there something I don’t know?  Some gray market? If you know something about how these are purchased that you can’t share publicly please DM me.  Thanks for any information.

@mjjw - In that price range and considering R2R DACs, I would recommend looking at the Mojo Audio DACs. Give them a call and discuss which model might best serve your needs.  45-day trial.  There are others too, like Holo May and Denafrips with each having their own distinct sound signature.  Merason DAC1 MkII was also nice but sort of a hybrid, not R2R.

The difference suggests how desperately one wants to sell OR that they had a generous discount on the original purchase (and still didn't like the product)
