Angeboten wird „K22“ von Antipodes als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Streaming“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 1289979980 endet am 31.08.2026 um 20:41 Uhr.
In good condition, €6,000 looks fair to slightly strong rather than a steal, but it is comfortably below new pricing and in line with real used asks for this model family. I’m seeing current used-market asks around €6,250 for an ex-display unit and €6,800 for a used one, while the K22’s original pricing sits much higher, so this listing is not out of line if it is truly clean and complete.
That makes it a sensible buy for someone who wants a serious digital front end without paying fresh-retail money. The K22 is well regarded as a high-end streamer/server/reclocker with the sort of refinement and resolution that can anchor a revealing system, so value here depends on condition, service history, and whether the original accessories are included; if those check out, €6,000 is a respectable entry point.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
