Offered is „CD player DP-450“ by Accuphase as second-hand device from the category „CD Player“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1279689032 ends on 04.12.2026 at 22:12 o'clock.
The timing matters: the DP-450 has been superseded by Accuphase’s newer DP-570, but it remains a current-generation-quality CD player rather than an obsolete design. At €3,500, this is a strong deal: it sits well below the €4,154 25th-percentile comparable, with recent listings centering at €4,215 and reaching €4,487.
The DP-450 is well regarded for its exceptionally quiet, rigid transport, refined four-parallel DAC design, and smooth, precise presentation with excellent low-level detail. It is CD-focused rather than an SACD player, which is worth confirming suits your collection, but that simplicity is part of its appeal. Assuming “good” means clean operation, a healthy display and remote, and ideally the original packaging, this is a buying opportunity rather than merely a fair price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Accuphase Laboratory, Inc., founded in 1972 in Tokyo by brothers Nakaichi and Jiro Kasuga, emerged from their departure from Trio-Kenwood, the company they had co-established decades earlier. Dissatisfied with mass-production compromises, the Kasugas formed Kensonic Laboratories—later renamed Accuphase Laboratory—and relocated to Yokohama in 1973. The brand name, blending "accurate" and "phase," reflected their commitment to precision audio reproduction amid the 1970s hi-fi boom. Their debut products, the P-300 power amplifier, C-200 preamplifier, and T-100 tuner, immediately earned acclaim, including Japan's Compo Grand Prix for the P-300.
Accuphase specializes in high-end electronics, renowned for integrated and power amplifiers, preamplifiers, tuners, CD players, and digital sources like DACs. While their core strength lies in meticulously engineered amplifiers celebrated for phase accuracy and reliability, the lineup extends to digital components, mains filters, and room correction units. Hand-assembled in Yokohama with top-tier parts and innovative circuits, these products prioritize sound purity over volume, eschewing speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-premium high-end market, Accuphase commands reverence among audiophiles for its timeless build quality, engineering excellence, and enduring performance. Synonymous with Japanese hi-fi mastery, it stands as a reference benchmark, appealing to discerning buyers seeking components that deliver uncompromised musical fidelity and last for generations.
