Offered is „DVP-NS999ES“ by Sony as second-hand device from the category „DVD-Audio Player“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1192916521 ends on 22.12.2026 at 17:35 o'clock.
When new, the Sony DVP-NS999ES was a flagship player costing roughly €1,000 or more; at €490 used, this is a fair price rather than a bargain. It sits almost exactly on the four-listing median of €480, comfortably within the recent €436–€530 market range, so the asking figure is well judged for a good-condition example.
Its appeal is substantial: this is a serious ES-built universal player with strong CD and stereo/multichannel SACD performance, a weighty chassis, capable bass management, and unusually good build quality for its era. The included accessories matter, particularly the original remote and any multichannel or digital cabling, and can make this a rewarding one-box disc source. At this price, confirm that the transport reads CD, SACD, and DVD reliably and that the display, tray, outputs, and remote all work, but a clean, complete unit is worth considering.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sony emerged from the ruins of post-World War II Japan, founded on May 7, 1946, by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita as Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K. in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district. Starting with radio repairs and Japan's first magnetic tape recorder, the duo secured transistor licensing from Bell Labs, pioneering the TR-55 transistor radio in 1955. Renamed Sony Corporation in 1958—from the Latin "sonus" for sound—the brand symbolized Japan's ascent from cheap imitations to innovative leadership, fueled by Ibuka's engineering prowess and Morita's global marketing vision.
Sony's hi-fi legacy spans headphones, amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark formats like the Compact Disc in 1982 and Blu-ray. Iconic products include the Walkman for portable audio revolution and Trinitron televisions, blending consumer accessibility with cutting-edge tech. Today, offerings like the Signature Series headphones and ES amplifiers target discerning listeners seeking refined soundstaging and dynamic range.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Sony commands respect among knowledgeable buyers for blending mass-market reliability with premium performance, outpacing many pure audiophile brands in innovation and value. Far from vintage relic or niche boutique, it dominates with forward-thinking engineering, holding strong market share in headphones and streaming ecosystems.
