Offered is „NS1 Streamer“ by EMM-Labs as second-hand device from the category „Digital Streamer“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9201951354 ends on 21.10.2026 at 06:09 o'clock.
Current new pricing for this class of EMM Labs/Meitner gear is high, so €2,500 for this NS1 sits a touch above the local median but still inside the normal used band. Against your recent comparables, it’s a fair ask: the median is €2,345, the 75th percentile is €2,537, and this listing lands close enough to the middle that it doesn’t read as stretched.
The appeal here is straightforward: these players are prized for a very refined, low-fatigue presentation, with excellent timing, scale, and a clean, highly resolved DAC/transport character that still feels musical. If the listing is genuinely good condition and complete, it’s a solid buy for someone wanting serious digital performance without jumping to new-price territory; I’d just want to confirm remote, original packaging, and that all inputs/outputs function cleanly before pulling the trigger.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
EMM Labs and Meitner Audio trace their roots to Ed Meitner, a pioneering audio engineer born in Austria who immigrated to Canada in 1969. With a career spanning over 50 years, Meitner contributed to landmark projects like the world's first automated mixing console at Olive Electrodynamics in Montreal and test equipment for Amber. He founded Museatex in the early 1980s before establishing EMM Labs in 1998 in Calgary, Alberta, followed by Meitner Audio in 2012, both carrying forward his legacy of Canadian-engineered excellence.
The brands specialize in high-performance digital and analog playback systems, renowned for their cutting-edge DACs, CD/SACD transports, and integrated playback solutions like the multi-award-winning XDS1 and MA-2. Collaborating with Sony and Philips, they refined Super Audio CD (SACD) technology, pioneering the first complete multichannel DSD playback system and setting benchmarks for high-resolution converters used in professional music production.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, EMM Labs and Meitner command respect among discerning audiophiles for their unerring fidelity, innovative engineering, and emotional engagement. Their products, handcrafted by a tight-knit team of physicists, engineers, and music lovers, represent the pinnacle of state-of-the-art hi-fi, influencing industry standards while delivering reference-level performance to homes worldwide.
