Angeboten wird „Astell&Kern AK120“ von Astell & Kern als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Festplatten Audio-Gerät“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 291739503 endet am 26.09.2026 um 21:23 Uhr.
Good value at €350 for a good-condition AK120, especially with cables and accessories included. In the current used market this sits right around the going rate rather than feeling inflated, with comparable AK120 listings commonly landing in the mid-€300s and some examples a bit above that once import/shipping is folded in.
What still makes it worth buying is the AK120’s reputation as an early A&K dual-DAC player with a very refined, slightly premium presentation and genuinely competent sound for a legacy DAP. The included accessories add practical value, and a clean, well-kept unit matters here because age is the main factor: battery health, buttons, and the screen are the big things to check before you commit.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Astell&Kern emerged from South Korea's rich audio heritage, launching its first product in 2012 and officially founding as a brand in 2013 in Seoul. Rooted in the legacy of iriver's MP3 players dating back to 1999, the company—now a subsidiary of Dreamus—embodies a philosophy drawn from its name: "Astell" (Latin for star) and "Kern" (German for core), symbolizing an unrelenting pursuit of music's original sound. This origin story reflects decades of accumulated expertise in premium audio craftsmanship.
The brand focuses on high-fidelity portable and home audio solutions, excelling in digital audio players (DAPs) like the iconic AK100 and A&ultima series, alongside headphones, in-ear monitors through collaborations, home audio systems, and accessories. Their designs prioritize advanced noise reduction, proprietary amplifier architectures, and support for hi-res audio files, delivering uncompromised playback without venturing into speakers, turntables, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audiophile market, Astell&Kern commands respect among discerning listeners for its "Difference in Sound Quality"—a sensory depth that captures the emotion and space of every note. Renowned for luxury builds and cutting-edge R&D, it leads the global premium DAP segment, appealing to buyers who demand superiority over mass-market compromises.
