Advice about Dac3 Platinium

Hello,

I hope you don’t mind me reaching out for some advice, if you have the time.

I have the opportunity to purchase a MSB Technologies Platinum Signature preamplifier/DAC (from around 2009, I believe). I currently have it on trial. It features R2R converters (high-precision resistors) and a dual 32-bit system that upsamples to 80 bits for maximum resolution.

The Platinum Signature version includes a preamp and has the number of digital and analog inputs I need. The Platinum version upsamples to 32 bits/384 kHz, and the preamp uses optional resistor ladder cards.

NB: The DAC has been fully serviced by an electronics engineer. The seller is offering it for €3,000 on Leboncoin and says that the new price with options was €17,000—there were various options at the time that could significantly increase the price… but I’m struggling to gauge its real value despite some online research. It’s hard for me to tell if it’s reasonable to invest in a DAC of this generation, however good it may have been. The preamp section is excellent…[Link to the ad](https://Link)

Happy holidays!
