What is the best DAC to buy used in the $500 range


I am looking for suggestions on the best sounding used DAC in the range of $500 used. I have checked the archives but didn't find any useful information. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to look for? Thanks for the interest.

Pugstub, the world is your oyster in that price range. Musical Fidelity make the A3 24 which sold for $1200 new and can be had for around $550.
EAD made the wonderful 7000 series III that I've seen go for around $450 and sold for almost $3000 when new.

There's one thing for sure, at the $500 level, if you buy it and find that you don't like it, you can likely resell it within a week or two and not lose a penny.

Be bold, read a few threads and take the plunge!
