Offered is „Yamaha CDS-1000 CDS1000 High End CD/SACD-Player in silber“ by Yamaha as second-hand device from the category „CD Player“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4981728154 ends on 13.11.2026 at 06:25 o'clock.
Good condition at €959 puts this above the typical used spread for this model, which centers around a €763 median and tops out near €833 at the 75th percentile. That makes it ambitious rather than a bargain; I’d only lean in if it’s unusually complete, freshly serviced, or from a seller with strong provenance.
That said, this is a well-regarded Yamaha single-disc player with the kind of build and disc-reading confidence that still appeals to CD collectors. If the remote, box, and original paperwork are included, and the transport is smooth with no loading glitches, it can still be a solid long-term buy for someone who wants a serious, reliable deck rather than a cheaper lightweight player.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Yamaha stands as one of the world's most storied audio manufacturers, with roots extending far beyond consumer electronics. Founded in 1887 by Torakusu Yamaha in Hamamatsu, Japan, the company began as a reed organ manufacturer before expanding into pianos and eventually becoming a comprehensive musical instrument maker. This deep heritage in acoustics and materials science would prove foundational to its later audio ventures. The company operated under its original name, Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd., until 1987, when it was renamed Yamaha Corporation in honor of its centennial.
Yamaha's entry into high-fidelity audio proved transformative for the industry itself. In 1954, the company released the Yamaha Hi-Fi Player, widely recognized as the world's first audio component to bear the "Hi-Fi" designation in its name. The company subsequently built a comprehensive product portfolio spanning amplifiers—beginning with the acclaimed A-100 in 1960—speakers, turntables, and digital audio equipment. The NS-1000 speakers, introduced in 1974 with beryllium drivers, became iconic reference monitors. Yamaha also pioneered digital audio technology, shipping the world's first CD recorder in 1988.
Today, Yamaha occupies a distinctive position as a mid-to-high-end generalist rather than a niche specialist. The brand commands respect among both casual listeners and serious audiophiles, balancing accessibility with genuine engineering credibility. Its reputation rests on six decades of consistent innovation, proven reliability, and the unique advantage of applying musical instrument expertise to audio reproduction. Vintage Yamaha components remain highly sought by collectors, while current products maintain the brand's tradition of delivering performance and durability across multiple price tiers.
