Offered is „DP 550“ by Accuphase as second-hand device from the category „SACD Player“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1889332785 ends on 05.11.2026 at 18:55 o'clock.
At €3,000, this sits a bit under the current used market for the model, especially versus recent asking levels around €3,300-€4,200 and a new price of roughly €10,450, so it reads as a solid buy rather than a stretch. It is not a steal, but for an Accuphase DP-550 in good condition, the number is fair-to-strong and nicely positioned if the listing is complete.
What makes it appealing is the usual Accuphase mix: superb disc playback, excellent build, and the kind of refined, low-fatigue sound that still makes a serious CD/SACD player feel relevant. A clean unit with remote, box, and papers adds real value here; at this price, that’s the main thing to verify, along with smooth tray action and reliable read/write behavior.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Accuphase Laboratory, Inc., founded in 1972 in Tokyo by brothers Nakaichi and Jiro Kasuga, emerged from their departure from Trio-Kenwood, the company they had co-established decades earlier. Dissatisfied with mass-production compromises, the Kasugas formed Kensonic Laboratories—later renamed Accuphase Laboratory—and relocated to Yokohama in 1973. The brand name, blending "accurate" and "phase," reflected their commitment to precision audio reproduction amid the 1970s hi-fi boom. Their debut products, the P-300 power amplifier, C-200 preamplifier, and T-100 tuner, immediately earned acclaim, including Japan's Compo Grand Prix for the P-300.
Accuphase specializes in high-end electronics, renowned for integrated and power amplifiers, preamplifiers, tuners, CD players, and digital sources like DACs. While their core strength lies in meticulously engineered amplifiers celebrated for phase accuracy and reliability, the lineup extends to digital components, mains filters, and room correction units. Hand-assembled in Yokohama with top-tier parts and innovative circuits, these products prioritize sound purity over volume, eschewing speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-premium high-end market, Accuphase commands reverence among audiophiles for its timeless build quality, engineering excellence, and enduring performance. Synonymous with Japanese hi-fi mastery, it stands as a reference benchmark, appealing to discerning buyers seeking components that deliver uncompromised musical fidelity and last for generations.
