Offered is „DP-100“ by Denon as second-hand device from the category „Record Player, Tone Arm, System...“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 106091576 ends on 28.11.2026 at 10:21 o'clock.
A true flagship Denon deck, but this asking price is far beyond the normal used market. With comparable recent EUR listings centered at €153, and even the upper quartile only €357, €11,000 is not a fair-market ask for a bare DP-100 listing unless it’s an exceptionally complete, documented, collector-grade package.
What makes it tempting is the model itself: the DP-100 is a legendary heavy-duty direct-drive table with serious broadcast-era engineering and real rarity, so the right example can justify a premium. Still, at this level, buyers should expect provenance, originality, and a complete, fully sorted setup—plinth, armboard/arm, cover, and proof of service—because without that, the price is hard to defend.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Denon traces its origins to 1910, when American entrepreneur Frederick Whitney Horn founded Japan's first audio equipment company, Nipponophone, initially focused on gramophones and records. The Denon brand emerged in 1939 from the merger of Japan Denki Onkyo—combining "den" for electricity and "on" for sound—with other entities, marking a shift toward professional audio development. This heritage includes pioneering Japan's first professional disc recorder in 1945, used to capture Emperor Hirohito's voice, and launching the nation's first long-playing records in 1951.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of hi-fi categories, from amplifiers, turntables, and tuners to loudspeakers, cassette decks, and phono cartridges. Denon's innovations extend to digital frontiers, such as the world's first practical PCM recorder in the early 1970s, the inaugural CD player in 1981, and early home theater systems with Dolby Digital in 1995. Today, its lineup encompasses AV receivers, headphones, wireless streaming solutions like HEOS, and high-channel processors, blending professional-grade components with consumer accessibility.
Denon holds a commanding position as a mid-to-high-end mainstay in the hi-fi market, revered for its blend of technological firsts, robust build quality, and balanced sound signatures that appeal to discerning enthusiasts. No longer a vintage collector's niche, it competes confidently against premium rivals, backed by over a century of audio leadership and strategic partnerships like its merger with Marantz.
