Angeboten wird „APL DSD-SR Special Edition REDUCED“ von APL Hifi als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8886708161 endet am 20.08.2026 um 19:31 Uhr.
This is a fair ask, slightly above the €7,822 median but well below the €17,428 75th percentile, so it sits in the upper-middle of the recent used market rather than in bargain territory. Against the lower quartile at €5,851, it is not cheap, but it is also not pushed into ambitious pricing.
For a buyer, the appeal is that this is a respected digital front end from a niche maker, and the good condition matters more here than on many source components. If it’s complete, stable, and comes from careful ownership, the price is reasonable for someone chasing a distinctive used hi-fi piece with real performance upside and limited availability.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
APL Hi-Fi traces its roots to 1998, when founder Alex Peychev began honing his expertise in high-end audio engineering, initially during his tenure at Sony Electronics. In 2003, he left Sony to establish APL Hi-Fi in Dublin, California, channeling his deep knowledge of electronic components into custom designs. The company later relocated production to Ruse, Bulgaria, embracing a fully handcrafted boutique approach that underscores its commitment to meticulous, small-batch manufacturing.
The brand specializes in premium digital audio upgrades and standalone components, particularly renowned for retrofitting high-end players from Esoteric, Pioneer, Denon, and Philips—most notably the NWO series based on the Esoteric UX-1 SACD/DVD-Audio player. APL also crafts exceptional DACs like the DSD-MR SE, DSD-AR, and ILLUMI-FI DSD-S, incorporating proprietary clocks, tube outputs, and advanced D/A conversion for superior soundstaging and detail. Offerings span various budgets, from $20,000 flagship retrofits to more accessible tech integrations, with a focus on USB, SPDIF, and DSD playback.
Positioned as a super high-end boutique in the audiophile market, APL Hi-Fi commands reverence among connoisseurs for its hyper-detailed, airy, and dynamically alive sound. Early accolades, such as Stereotimes' 2004 "Most Wanted Component" award for its Philips SACD1000 mod, affirm its elite status, appealing to discerning buyers seeking uncompromising transparency over mass-market convenience.
