Offered is „MELCO / DELA D100 Silber – audiophiles CD-Blue-ray-Laufwerk/Ripper – OVP“ by DELA as second-hand device from the category „CD Drive“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9282474807 ends on 03.11.2026 at 21:38 o'clock.
€749 is a fair ask, sitting just above the €718 median and still well within the core used-market band between €686 and €810. It is not a bargain, but it is priced sensibly enough for a clean example.
This is a well-regarded digital transport for buyers who value a serious, purpose-built source component over a generic streamer setup. The appeal is straightforward: solid build, audiophile-minded execution, and the kind of platform that can make sense if you want a dedicated digital front end without chasing the newest thing. At this price, a good-condition unit is worth serious consideration, especially if it includes the right accessories and has been kept in tidy shape.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Melco, standing for Maki Engineering Laboratory Company, traces its origins to 1975 in Nagoya, Japan, where audiophile Makoto Maki founded the brand amid the vibrant audio scene. Starting with a retail outpost called the Mel Shop in the Ame-Yoko Radio Center, Maki overcame early financial hurdles by fostering a community for enthusiasts, blending commerce with innovation. This heritage of passion and perseverance propelled Melco from modest audio manufacturing into a powerhouse, eventually evolving into the Buffalo group while retaining its audiophile roots.
The brand's early focus centered on high-fidelity components, most notably turntables that redefined music reproduction standards upon their 1980 UK debut. After pivoting to computer peripherals, Melco revived its hi-fi legacy around 2014, now specializing in audiophile-grade networked audio solutions. These include music servers, NAS drives, Ethernet switches, and digital streamers, engineered for seamless hi-res playback without the pitfalls of standard computing gear.
Positioned firmly in the high-end niche, Melco commands respect among discerning buyers for its rigorous R&D and uncompromised digital source performance. Revived products echo the excellence of its vintage forebears, earning accolades from hi-fi press and solidifying its role as a boutique leader in streaming and storage. Collectors and modern streamers alike value its Japanese precision, now under DELA Inc. for its 50th milestone.
