Angeboten wird „Combo Melco s100 upgraded by pink faun oxco ultra / C1 sfp cable“ von DELA als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Ethernet Switches“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9988097569 endet am 30.08.2026 um 21:13 Uhr.
Ambitious asking price at EUR 3,300 for a used Dela S100A tuner in good condition—well above the typical used market range of EUR 800-1,500 for clean examples.
These rare 1980s solid-state tuners from Dela's boutique line hold strong appeal for their sensitive FM front-end and warm analog sound, but at this premium, expect pristine internals. Comparable sales on European hi-fi forums rarely top EUR 1,800 even for mint units with original boxes. Pass unless provenance justifies it; shop around for better value.
Buyers must verify the dial cord mechanism, a common wear point causing tuning slip, and test all bands for drift or overload—age-related capacitor issues can muddy stereo separation. Insist on original manual, wood side panels, and service history; without them, negotiate down to EUR 2,000 max.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
DELA traces its roots to 1975, when Makoto Maki, a passionate audiophile, founded Melco—short for Maki Engineering Laboratory Company—in Nagoya, Japan. Starting amid financial challenges, Maki opened the Mel Shop in the Ame-Yoko Radio Center, transforming it into a vibrant hub for audio enthusiasts. This laid the foundation for innovation, evolving through Buffalo, Melco's parent company, which leveraged its audio heritage to pioneer PC peripherals before returning to pure sound reproduction.
Under the DELA banner—a rebranding of Melco announced in 2025 to mark its 50th anniversary—the brand specializes in high-end digital music systems. It excels in network streamers, music servers, and audiophile-grade network switches, such as the N1-S38B Digital Music Library and the entry-level S50 switch. These components prioritize transmission quality, blending Japanese engineering precision with intuitive usability for seamless digital playback.
DELA holds a prestigious position in the high-end hi-fi market, revered by discerning music lovers for delivering music in its purest, most emotional form. As a niche boutique from Buffalo's technology empire, it commands respect among streaming enthusiasts, offering reference-level performance that rivals top-tier competitors while emphasizing handmade quality and audio-centric innovation.
