Offered is „Microdac + Microdrive CD Komplett Set“ by Micromega as second-hand device from the category „CD Device“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2209881746 ends on 15.11.2026 at 10:58 o'clock.
Micromega’s older CD/DAC pieces have a strong reputation for a lively, detailed presentation, so the Microdrive sits in that appealing “serious vintage digital” zone. At €1,480, this listing looks ambitious rather than fair: comparable Micromega used listings and model-history pricing suggest a much lower typical second-hand band, with one historical reference putting the Microdrive around £799 and current used Micromega sales often landing far below this level.
That said, it’s a worthwhile piece if you want the brand’s early-’90s charm and a clean, well-kept example. The upside is mainly in musicality, rarity, and collector appeal; if the unit is truly good condition with the right remote, manual, and intact display/mechanism, it has real enthusiast value. At this asking price, though, I’d want exceptional provenance or a demonstrably serviced example to make it compelling.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Micromega, a French hi-fi brand founded in 1987 by Daniel Schar, emerged from Paris with a bold focus on innovation during the digital audio revolution. Its early triumphs included the top-loading CD-F1 player and the pioneering separate transport-DAC CD setup, alongside collaborations like the acclaimed LEEDH speakers by Gilles Milot and the enduring Epure turntable by Pierre Riffaud. Acquired and revitalized by Didier Hamdi around 2007, the company upholds its heritage of in-house French design and manufacture, guided by the mantra of sound purity.
The brand excels in compact, technology-driven categories such as integrated amplifiers, CD players, preamps, power amps, DACs, streamers, and turntables. Standouts include the M-One series flagship M-150 amplifier with 150W Class-AB power, AK4490 DAC, and proprietary M.A.R.S. room correction; the ultra-compact MyAmp; and modern all-in-one solutions like the M100 streamer-DAC-amp with phono input. Past lines like AirDream and MO emphasized accessible high-performance digital and analog sources.
Micromega occupies a niche boutique position in the mid-to-high-end market, prized by discerning buyers for its forward-thinking engineering and value-driven pricing—from under €500 for entry-level amps to around $7,500 for flagships. Longevity since the 1980s earns it respect among vintage enthusiasts, while recent UK returns via Absolute Sounds affirm its cult following, though sparse warranty data tempers expectations for some.
