Offered is „Stage 1“ by Micromega 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 839322247 ends on 25.10.2026 at 06:30 o'clock.
€480 is above the 75th percentile versus your recent comparables, so this reads as ambitious rather than fair for the current used market. With a median at €346 and the upper quartile at €410, the listing is asking a meaningful premium that needs real justification.
That said, this is a well-regarded player if you value a smooth, refined presentation and solid build quality, and a clean, good-condition example can still tempt a collector. The upside here is mainly convenience and finding one that’s been cared for; at this price, I’d want strong cosmetics, confirmed full function, and ideally any original extras before calling it a buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Micromega, a French hi-fi brand founded in 1987 by Daniel Schar, emerged from Paris with a bold focus on innovation during the digital audio revolution. Its early triumphs included the top-loading CD-F1 player and the pioneering separate transport-DAC CD setup, alongside collaborations like the acclaimed LEEDH speakers by Gilles Milot and the enduring Epure turntable by Pierre Riffaud. Acquired and revitalized by Didier Hamdi around 2007, the company upholds its heritage of in-house French design and manufacture, guided by the mantra of sound purity.
The brand excels in compact, technology-driven categories such as integrated amplifiers, CD players, preamps, power amps, DACs, streamers, and turntables. Standouts include the M-One series flagship M-150 amplifier with 150W Class-AB power, AK4490 DAC, and proprietary M.A.R.S. room correction; the ultra-compact MyAmp; and modern all-in-one solutions like the M100 streamer-DAC-amp with phono input. Past lines like AirDream and MO emphasized accessible high-performance digital and analog sources.
Micromega occupies a niche boutique position in the mid-to-high-end market, prized by discerning buyers for its forward-thinking engineering and value-driven pricing—from under €500 for entry-level amps to around $7,500 for flagships. Longevity since the 1980s earns it respect among vintage enthusiasts, while recent UK returns via Absolute Sounds affirm its cult following, though sparse warranty data tempers expectations for some.
