Offered is „CDSA“ by Meitner Audio as second-hand device from the category „SACD Player“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5552550289 ends on 28.10.2026 at 09:46 o'clock.
This is a buyer’s market for the category at the moment: at €3,200, the asking price sits well below the €3,378 25th percentile and far under the €5,881 median from your recent EUR comparables, so it reads as a strong deal rather than merely fair. It is also comfortably beneath the upper-end cluster at €9,455, which gives it real upside if the unit is clean and fully functional.
That makes it an attractive buy for someone who wants a respected disc spinner with a solid reputation for musical, no-nonsense performance and good transport/DAC integration. The meaningful value here is in getting a premium Meitner/EMM piece at a sub-market price; just confirm the usual essentials for an older digital source — smooth tray/loading, stable read of discs, and included remote/manual/power lead if applicable — so the bargain isn’t eroded by missing bits or service needs.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
EMM Labs and Meitner Audio trace their roots to Ed Meitner, a pioneering audio engineer born in Austria who immigrated to Canada in 1969. With a career spanning over 50 years, Meitner contributed to landmark projects like the world's first automated mixing console at Olive Electrodynamics in Montreal and test equipment for Amber. He founded Museatex in the early 1980s before establishing EMM Labs in 1998 in Calgary, Alberta, followed by Meitner Audio in 2012, both carrying forward his legacy of Canadian-engineered excellence.
The brands specialize in high-performance digital and analog playback systems, renowned for their cutting-edge DACs, CD/SACD transports, and integrated playback solutions like the multi-award-winning XDS1 and MA-2. Collaborating with Sony and Philips, they refined Super Audio CD (SACD) technology, pioneering the first complete multichannel DSD playback system and setting benchmarks for high-resolution converters used in professional music production.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, EMM Labs and Meitner command respect among discerning audiophiles for their unerring fidelity, innovative engineering, and emotional engagement. Their products, handcrafted by a tight-knit team of physicists, engineers, and music lovers, represent the pinnacle of state-of-the-art hi-fi, influencing industry standards while delivering reference-level performance to homes worldwide.
