Offered is „NYQUIST MK2“ by Brinkmann Audio as new device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5479557263 ends on 16.11.2026 at 08:59 o'clock.
This is a serious digital front end, and the asking price lands right where the used market says it should. At €12,500, it sits just under the median €12,568 and within the tight recent band of €12,463 to €12,641, so this reads as a fair buy rather than a bargain hunt.
That makes it interesting if the unit is clean and complete, because Brinkmann’s DACs are prized for refinement, low fatigue, and a very polished, analog-leaning presentation. At this level, condition and included cables/accessories matter more than squeezing the last few euros, so a tidy, well-kept example with the right extras is the kind of listing worth moving on.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Brinkmann Audio traces its origins to 1985 in Germany, when Helmut Brinkmann founded the company after selling his stake in Audiolabor, where he had developed acclaimed products like the Konstant turntable. Fans urged him to continue his innovations, leading to Brinkmann's debut with the legendary Balance turntable—a design still in continuous production today. Handcrafted entirely from German parts in Germany, the brand embodies Helmut's relentless pursuit of the "perfect illusion" of musical playback, rooted in engineering simplicity and enduring quality.
The company specializes in high-end analog components, renowned for its exceptional turntables, tonearms, and phono preamplifiers, with past offerings including phono cartridges. Brinkmann has expanded into electronics, producing preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and integrated amplifiers to complete the audio chain, while designing and manufacturing every element in-house for seamless synergy.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, Brinkmann commands a cult following among discerning audiophiles for its refined German craftsmanship and uncompromising performance. It stands as a niche boutique icon, delivering magical, lifelike sound that elevates vinyl and digital playback to reference levels, appealing to collectors and perfectionists who demand the pinnacle of hi-fi artistry.
