Offered is „S10 switch in silver“ by DELA as second-hand device from the category „Ethernet switches“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3752351032 ends on 12.11.2026 at 11:07 o'clock.
Compared with a new network switch or a recent audiophile Ethernet switch in this bracket, €3,000 is firmly ambitious against the current used market: the median is €1,488, the 75th percentile is €1,956, and this asking price sits well above that. It needs to justify itself on condition, provenance, and inclusion more than on price alone.
That said, this is a respected piece for listeners chasing cleaner digital playback, with a strong reputation for build quality and system refinement. If it’s genuinely mint, complete, and from careful ownership, it can still make sense for the right buyer — but at €3,000 I’d want unusually strong extras or a very fast-moving local market to call it compelling.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
DELA traces its roots to 1975, when Makoto Maki, a passionate audiophile, founded Melco—short for Maki Engineering Laboratory Company—in Nagoya, Japan. Starting amid financial challenges, Maki opened the Mel Shop in the Ame-Yoko Radio Center, transforming it into a vibrant hub for audio enthusiasts. This laid the foundation for innovation, evolving through Buffalo, Melco's parent company, which leveraged its audio heritage to pioneer PC peripherals before returning to pure sound reproduction.
Under the DELA banner—a rebranding of Melco announced in 2025 to mark its 50th anniversary—the brand specializes in high-end digital music systems. It excels in network streamers, music servers, and audiophile-grade network switches, such as the N1-S38B Digital Music Library and the entry-level S50 switch. These components prioritize transmission quality, blending Japanese engineering precision with intuitive usability for seamless digital playback.
DELA holds a prestigious position in the high-end hi-fi market, revered by discerning music lovers for delivering music in its purest, most emotional form. As a niche boutique from Buffalo's technology empire, it commands respect among streaming enthusiasts, offering reference-level performance that rivals top-tier competitors while emphasizing handmade quality and audio-centric innovation.
