This is a serious phono-stage and the asking price looks ambitious rather than compelling. At kr49,000, it sits well above the 75th percentile of recent SEK comparables at kr41,714, so this is not a bargain by current used-market standards.
What makes it worth a look is the DS Audio concept itself: optical cartridges and matching electronics can deliver very low noise, strong dynamics, and a presentation that many vinyl fans find unusually open. If the unit is clean, complete, and comes from careful ownership with the right power supply and accessories, it may still appeal to a buyer chasing that specific sound—but at this level, I’d want strong condition, full kit, and no uncertainty before paying up.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# DS Audio
DS Audio is a Japanese hi-fi specialist founded in October 2013 by Tetsuaki Aoyagi, building on his father's three-decade legacy in laser optics through Digital Stream Corporation. Based in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, the brand emerged from a deliberate mission to reinvent analog playback and "create the future of analog music." This heritage in precision optics proved instrumental in developing the company's signature technology.
The brand is renowned almost exclusively for optical phono cartridges—a category in which DS Audio stands alone as the world's sole major manufacturer. Their cartridges employ proprietary LED-based optical transducers that dramatically improve upon earlier Toshiba designs, eliminating traditional stylus contact and offering exceptional longevity (approximately 50,000 usable hours). DS Audio complements these cartridges with matching phono stages and turntable accessories, maintaining a tightly focused product ecosystem.
DS Audio occupies the high-end and ultra-high-end market segment, commanding premium pricing justified by proprietary innovation and limited competition. The brand has cultivated a devoted following among analog enthusiasts and collectors worldwide, with its optical cartridges climbing to the upper echelons of audio desirability. This is unquestionably a niche boutique manufacturer, but one with genuine technological differentiation and a growing reputation for excellence in a specialized domain.
