Offered is „DC1000“ by Accuphase as second-hand device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3702212772 ends on 06.11.2026 at 10:53 o'clock.
For a current-generation reference DAC, timing matters less than condition and completeness here, and this asking price lands right at the market’s center of gravity. At €11,900, it sits essentially on the €11,951 median and just under the €12,721 75th percentile, so this reads as a fair buy rather than a bargain or an ambitious ask.
What makes it attractive is the usual Accuphase mix of refinement, low fatigue, and top-tier build quality; these units are bought for long-term enjoyment, not spec-sheet fireworks. At this price, a clean, fully working example with remote, packaging, and a careful owner history is the kind of listing that rewards decisiveness, especially if you’ve been waiting for one of the better-regarded modern DACs in the brand’s lineup.
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.
