Should you jump on this one, or is the market already pricing in the upside? At €1,800, it sits just above the €1,776 median and a touch over the €1,794 75th percentile, so this reads as fair-to-slightly ambitious rather than a bargain.
That said, the Antipodes EX has a strong reputation as a serious digital front end, with the kind of refinement, noise reduction, and musical ease that can make a good DAC chain sound more relaxed and resolved. If the unit is genuinely clean, complete, and from careful ownership, the extra €6 over the 75th percentile is small enough that I’d still view it as a sensible buy for someone who wants this level of performance now rather than waiting for a better-priced example.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Antipodes Audio emerged from New Zealand's Kapiti Coast on the North Island, with research into music server design commencing in 2009. Founded by Mark Jenkins, a former Telecom New Zealand executive and lifelong audiophile frustrated with conventional interconnects, the company drew its name from the British colonial term for Australia and New Zealand as the "antipodes"—the distant other side of the world. Starting with an audio-cable venture alongside his wife Sonia around 2004, Jenkins pivoted to digital audio innovation, prioritizing simple circuits, premium components, and aggressive noise reduction to preserve signal integrity.
The brand specializes in high-end digital audio sources, particularly music servers and streamers that excel as both servers and players. Iconic models like the CX, EX, DS Reference, and Kala series evolved into flagships such as the K50 and the Oladra platform, now a distinct brand. These devices incorporate advanced G4 technologies, including double noise isolation, output regeneration, reclocking across S/PDIF, AES3, I2S, and USB, alongside custom linear power supplies and motherboard tuning for optimal bandwidth and musicality.
Antipodes occupies a niche boutique position in the ultra-high-end market, earning acclaim for delivering emotionally engaging sound in noisy digital environments. Reviewed favorably alongside rivals like Innuos, its maverick designs—embodied in the "Oladra" name, evoking Greek renegades—appeal to discerning buyers seeking reference-level servers that rival top DACs in transparency and dynamics.
