Offered is „Epic AC 1,5m“ by Chord Cable / The Chord Company as second-hand device from the category „Power Cords“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4194350621 ends on 19.10.2026 at 16:50 o'clock.
Timing matters here because this is an established Chord design, not a fresh model cycle, so the main question is value versus condition rather than depreciation risk. At €580, it sits right on the top of your recent used range and above the €489 median, so this is a fair-to-firm ask rather than a bargain; it only starts to look ambitious if the exact length, plugs, or presentation are less than ideal.
That said, Epic Digital is a respected digital interconnect for a reason: it’s a solid step-up cable with good build quality, strong timing, and a presentation that tends to suit mid-tier DACs, transports, and streamers well. In good condition, from a clean system and with the right termination, it’s still a worthwhile buy if you specifically want this cable’s sound and construction. At this price, though, the value depends on complete, original, well-kept condition and the exact connector/length match.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
The Chord Company was founded in 1984 in Salisbury, England, born from a serendipitous dinner conversation among Naim Audio retailers visiting from the US. They sought a high-quality DIN-to-RCA interconnect cable, unavailable at the time, prompting Sally Gibb—then married to a Naim executive—to propose crafting them herself. With Naim's endorsement, she launched the venture, naming it for the American term "cord" and its musical resonance, while insisting on fully British design and construction. Early prototypes were tested with Naim expertise, hand-built by friends, establishing a heritage rooted in precision and hi-fi passion from its Wiltshire headquarters near Stonehenge.
The company specializes exclusively in analogue and digital cables, spanning interconnects, speaker wires, power cords, and tonearm cables across performance tiers from entry-level C-series to flagship Leyline ranges. Unlike brands delving into amplifiers, speakers, or DACs, Chord focuses intently on signal integrity, employing advanced shielding, conductor materials, and geometry to minimize noise and preserve dynamics—catering to systems from budget setups to ultra-high-end rigs.
Renowned as a high-end boutique leader in the cable market, The Chord Company commands respect among discerning audiophiles for delivering exceptional value, transparency, and build quality that punches above its price. Its steady growth and international acclaim affirm a niche position: not vintage or mid-tier, but a go-to for upgrades that reveal system potential without ostentation.
