Great working order and condition. Few very light marks/bumps looking close up.
Comes with 1.5M AudioQuest Forest USB Cable.
Was used with my PS Audio DAC with a lot better SQ results vs USB direct.
Postage AU wide around $25

Australian retailers consistently list new X-SPDIF 2 units at a regular retail price (RRP) of $649 AUD, with no active discounts noted in recent listings from Indie HiFi and Class A Audio (which mentions potential better prices upon inquiry).
Used market listings show lower values, such as A$350 on Aussie Audio Mart (November 2025, Australia), alongside international sales like CA$275 (≈A$300), US$250 (≈A$380), and others in the A$250–$400 range after currency conversion, indicating strong demand without rapid depreciation.
Prices vary significantly by condition: New units hold close to RRP due to specialized hi-fi demand, while used prices drop 40–60% based on age, accessories, and cosmetic wear—e.g., the A$350 listing appears as a recent local used sale versus higher new pricing.
Key factors affecting value include:
- Location and shipping: Australian buyers prefer local stock to avoid import duties, supporting $649 AUD new locally over lower USD clearance sales (e.g., US$99.99 ≈A$150, but unavailable in AU).
- Condition and accessories: Full boxes with original power options (USB or external 6–9V) command premiums; tested units with low jitter/FET clocks add appeal per reviews.
- Market competition: Newer X-SPDIF 3 at $799 AUD positions the X-SPDIF 2 as a value option, stabilizing used prices; hi-fi forum demand (e.g., StereoNET) sustains values.
- Power setup: Units with external linear supplies (extra cost) may sell higher, as USB bus power alone is standard.
These estimates use conservative 2025 listings, AUD/USD ≈1.52, and prioritize AU sources for relevance; actual sales may fluctuate with inventory.
