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 1508377504 ends on 25.10.2026 at 09:24 o'clock.
At €12,500, this sits just above the €12,372 median and slightly over the €12,461 75th percentile, so it reads as a touch ambitious rather than overpriced. It is not a bargain, but it is close enough to the heart of the market that a clean example can still make sense.
That makes the key question condition and completeness: a well-kept DAC of this caliber is bought for its excellent resolution, timing, and unusually natural presentation, and the included cables/accessories help support value. If the unit is tidy, fully boxed, and ready to drop into a serious system, this is still a credible buy at the asking price; if anything is missing or the service history is vague, there is little room left for premium pricing.
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.
