Angeboten wird „D-02X (trade-in product)“ von Esoteric als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9589555241 endet am 16.09.2026 um 13:50 Uhr.
At €9,900, this sits just under the €10,005 median of recent comparable EUR listings and above the €9,972 25th percentile, so it reads as a fair buy, not a bargain. It is close enough to the center of the market that I would expect the seller to be in normal negotiation territory rather than pricing aggressively.
That makes sense for a piece like this: Esoteric’s D-02 X is a respected digital front end, and good-condition examples are appealing because they offer serious build quality and a mature, highly regarded presentation without entering speculative pricing. If the unit is complete, clean, and functioning properly, this is the kind of listing that should interest a buyer who wants a premium DAC/CD-era component at a sensible used price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Esoteric, a pinnacle of Japanese high-end audio engineering, emerged in 1987 as a dedicated brand under TEAC Corporation, building on decades of the parent company's expertise in audio innovation dating back to 1953. Born from Tokyo Television Acoustic Company's legacy, Esoteric was conceived to transcend conventional boundaries, channeling TEAC's vast experience into components that redefine sonic purity. Hand-assembled in its Tokyo factory, every piece reflects a relentless pursuit of excellence, merging cutting-edge technology with museum-quality craftsmanship.
The brand specializes in ultra-refined digital and analog source components, including Super Audio CD transports, high-resolution DACs, precision preamplifiers, and monoblock power amplifiers, as exemplified by its flagship Grandioso series. While not venturing into speakers, headphones, or cables, Esoteric focuses on core electronics that deliver unparalleled sound reproduction, with limited-edition models like the 2017 30th-anniversary black finishes underscoring its artisanal approach.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Esoteric commands reverence among discerning audiophiles for its "preeminent philosophy of sound appreciation" and timeless standards. It occupies a niche as a boutique icon of Japanese precision, where cost is no object and prestige is earned through superior acoustic engineering—recently solidified by its 2024 merger with TEAC, ensuring continued Tokyo-made dominance.
