Offered is „Burmester 089 -- CD Player / Vorverstärker“ by Burmester 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 318267578 ends on 21.12.2026 at 12:24 o'clock.
The timing matters mainly because the 089 is an older, single-box high-end CD player rather than a current-generation streaming source, but that makes the price especially attractive for a disc-based system. At €7,900, it sits exactly at the recent comparable listings’ 25th percentile and below the €8,109 median, so this is a strong deal rather than merely fair value.
The 089 remains a serious digital front end: its belt-driven transport, balanced analogue stage, selectable upsampling, digital inputs, and variable output let it serve as both source and preamp in the right system. It is particularly well regarded for a smooth, rich presentation with convincing scale and weight, while retaining useful system flexibility. At this money, a clean, fully functional example with remote, manuals, and original packaging is a worthwhile opportunity; confirm transport operation and the included digital-input/MMI configuration before committing.

Burmester Audiosysteme traces its roots to Berlin, Germany, where engineer and musician Dieter Burmester founded the company in 1977, formally registering it as a GmbH the following year. Born from his frustration with a faulty preamplifier, Burmester repurposed medical electronics into the iconic 777 amplifier—named for its July 1977 debut—launching a legacy of precision engineering and unyielding quality standards. Handcrafted in Berlin ever since, the brand embodies Dieter's vision of technical innovation without compromise, even after his passing.
The company specializes in luxury high-end audio components, including preamplifiers, power amplifiers, integrated and multi-channel amps, CD players, D/A converters, phono preamps, surround processors, FM tuners, speakers, power conditioners, and accessories. Burmester also excels in turntables and cables, but its hallmark is fully DC-coupled designs and symmetrical balanced topology, first pioneered in the 838 phono preamp, delivering noise-free, distortion-minimal sound.
Positioned at the pinnacle of the high-end market, Burmester commands a global reputation for uncompromising musicality, timeless design, and bespoke craftsmanship, often rivaling or exceeding competitors in clarity and dynamics. Its prestige extends to automotive partnerships since 2002, powering elite systems in Bugatti Veyron, Porsche Panamera and Cayenne, Mercedes-Benz, and Ferrari models—proving hi-fi perfection transcends the home.
