Angeboten wird „SGM Extreme high end audio Music Server“ von Taiko Audio als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Musikserver“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 1420729334 endet am 01.10.2026 um 06:23 Uhr.
Are you getting this for the money, or for the fact that it’s one of the few servers that can still justify “reference-grade” in a serious digital front end?
At €16,499, this sits just under the €16,622 median and inside the normal used band defined by the €16,181 to €16,771 spread, so it reads as fair-to-slightly-strong rather than a bargain. It’s not a stretch price, and for a flagship piece with this reputation, that’s a solid place to be.
The appeal here is simple: the sound quality is the point, and Taiko’s Extreme line is widely regarded as a top-tier music server for resolution, timing, and overall ease. If the unit is clean, complete, and from a careful owner, the value proposition is strong because these don’t show up every day and tend to be bought by people who already know what they want.

Taiko Audio emerged from the Netherlands as a beacon of innovation in high-end audio, founded by Emile Bok, a lifelong tinkerer who built his first loudspeaker at age twelve. Established around 2008, the brand reflects Bok's engineering prowess and passion for music reproduction, drawing on Dutch precision to challenge conventional hi-fi paradigms. With roots in bespoke loudspeaker design, Taiko quickly evolved into a forward-thinking laboratory, prioritizing proprietary technologies over off-the-shelf components to deliver unparalleled realism.
The company's product focus centers on elite digital playback and system integration, with flagship offerings like the Extreme music server—a custom-built, ultra-high-performance DAC and streaming solution that redefines resolution and timing. Complementing this are power supplies, network bridges, and bespoke cables engineered for minimal noise and maximum dynamics, alongside integrated amplifiers and server chassis. Taiko eschews mass-market categories like headphones or turntables, instead targeting the core of modern digital chains where data integrity meets sonic purity.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end niche, Taiko Audio commands reverence among discerning audiophiles for its no-compromise approach, often fetching five- and six-figure prices. Reviewers hail its products for lifelike soundstaging and emotional depth that rival live performance, cementing the brand's status as a boutique disruptor in the global hi-fi elite—ideal for buyers seeking the pinnacle of musical immersion without vintage nostalgia or mid-tier compromises.
