Timing matters a bit here because this is a 2007-era K2-series player, but that also means it sits in the sweet spot for mature used pricing rather than being a newly superseded model. At £450, it’s above the recent median of £333 and even past the £364 75th percentile, so this is on the ambitious side rather than a fair-market buy.
What keeps it interesting is that the Kandy K2 line is well regarded for a smooth, musical presentation and strong build, with useful digital outputs if you want to use it as a transport. If the unit is genuinely clean, fully working, and ideally includes the remote and original box, there’s some appeal for a Roksan fan — but at this price I’d want excellent condition and proof of service history to make it compelling.

Roksan emerged in London in 1985, founded by Tufan Hashemi and Touraj Moghaddam, two Persian-heritage graduates of Imperial College London and Queen Mary College. Dissatisfied with prevailing turntable designs, they launched the groundbreaking Xerxes platform at that year's hi-fi show, challenging traditional construction and establishing the brand's reputation for radical innovation. Named after Roxana, daughter of Persian King Darius, Roksan infused its identity with cultural roots while rooting itself firmly in British audio engineering.
The brand specializes in high-fidelity components, starting with its iconic analog vinyl replay systems like the Xerxes turntable and Artemiz tonearm. It expanded into amplifiers (Kandy, Attessa, Caspian series), CD players, digital sources, and speakers, blending timeless design with robust engineering. Now hand-built in Rayleigh, Essex, under the Monitor Audio Group since 2016, products like the latest Caspian Series 4G cater to both vinyl enthusiasts and modern streamers.
Roksan occupies a distinctive niche in the high-end hi-fi market as a stylish British disruptor, prized for its boundary-pushing sound quality, reliability, and unconventional aesthetics. Far from mid-tier or vintage obscurity, it commands respect among discerning buyers seeking musical soul over conformity, with a legacy revitalized rather than diluted by its corporate home.
