Offered is „NYQUIST MK2“ by Brinkmann Audio as new device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5285754483 ends on 18.10.2026 at 10:00 o'clock.
Compared with buying new at €12,500, this used ask is essentially right in the fair-value lane for the market you’ve shown. With a median of €12,393 and a 75th percentile of €12,469, €12,500 is only a hair above the upper quartile, so it reads as a near-fair premium rather than an aggressive ask.
That makes sense for a piece like this: Brinkmann’s DACs are prized for their smooth, unforced presentation, strong resolution, and long-term ownership appeal. If the unit is clean, complete with the right cables/accessories, and from a careful owner, it’s the kind of listing that rewards buying on condition and provenance more than chasing a discount.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Brinkmann Audio traces its origins to 1985 in Germany, when Helmut Brinkmann founded the company after selling his stake in Audiolabor, where he had developed acclaimed products like the Konstant turntable. Fans urged him to continue his innovations, leading to Brinkmann's debut with the legendary Balance turntable—a design still in continuous production today. Handcrafted entirely from German parts in Germany, the brand embodies Helmut's relentless pursuit of the "perfect illusion" of musical playback, rooted in engineering simplicity and enduring quality.
The company specializes in high-end analog components, renowned for its exceptional turntables, tonearms, and phono preamplifiers, with past offerings including phono cartridges. Brinkmann has expanded into electronics, producing preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and integrated amplifiers to complete the audio chain, while designing and manufacturing every element in-house for seamless synergy.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, Brinkmann commands a cult following among discerning audiophiles for its refined German craftsmanship and uncompromising performance. It stands as a niche boutique icon, delivering magical, lifelike sound that elevates vinyl and digital playback to reference levels, appealing to collectors and perfectionists who demand the pinnacle of hi-fi artistry.
