Angeboten wird „Antipodes CX Music Server – Excellent Condition“ von Antipodes als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Musikserver“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 653070439 endet am 26.08.2026 um 18:21 Uhr.
This €2,600 asking price for the Antipodes CX is a strong deal, sitting just above the €2,500 median used price tracked in 2026 and well below the €6,895 original retail cost. With recent listings hovering around €2,500–€2,600, this offer lands near the 25th–30th percentile of the used market, making it an excellent entry point for a high-end music server.
The CX remains well-regarded as a top-tier standalone server and renderer for Roon, UPnP, and Squeezebox, delivering clean digital playback with minimal jitter. Its ability to function independently—without needing an EX renderer—adds versatility, and Antipodes’ Dutch engineering is prized for its sonic transparency and stability. In good condition and at this price, it’s a buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking audiophile-grade network streaming without the flagship cost.

Antipodes Audio emerged from New Zealand's Kapiti Coast on the North Island, with research into music server design commencing in 2009. Founded by Mark Jenkins, a former Telecom New Zealand executive and lifelong audiophile frustrated with conventional interconnects, the company drew its name from the British colonial term for Australia and New Zealand as the "antipodes"—the distant other side of the world. Starting with an audio-cable venture alongside his wife Sonia around 2004, Jenkins pivoted to digital audio innovation, prioritizing simple circuits, premium components, and aggressive noise reduction to preserve signal integrity.
The brand specializes in high-end digital audio sources, particularly music servers and streamers that excel as both servers and players. Iconic models like the CX, EX, DS Reference, and Kala series evolved into flagships such as the K50 and the Oladra platform, now a distinct brand. These devices incorporate advanced G4 technologies, including double noise isolation, output regeneration, reclocking across S/PDIF, AES3, I2S, and USB, alongside custom linear power supplies and motherboard tuning for optimal bandwidth and musicality.
Antipodes occupies a niche boutique position in the ultra-high-end market, earning acclaim for delivering emotionally engaging sound in noisy digital environments. Reviewed favorably alongside rivals like Innuos, its maverick designs—embodied in the "Oladra" name, evoking Greek renegades—appeal to discerning buyers seeking reference-level servers that rival top DACs in transparency and dynamics.
