Angeboten wird „McIntosh MDA 1000 - The best DAC of Mcintosh! Org. 230V version“ von McIntosh als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5681326879 endet am 06.07.2026 um 11:44 Uhr.
At €2,300, this sits a bit above the €2,140 median and just over the €2,260 75th percentile, so it reads as slightly ambitious rather than a bargain. It’s not wildly off, but it’s priced at the top end of the recent comparable EUR market, so I’d want the condition and provenance to be genuinely strong before calling it a buy.
That said, this model has a strong reputation as a smooth, musical DAC with classic McIntosh build quality, and clean used examples tend to hold value well. If it’s truly in good shape, with no display issues, no channel imbalance, and ideally original packaging or remote included, the premium is easier to justify.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
McIntosh Laboratory, founded in 1949 in the United States by Frank H. McIntosh and Gordon Gow, embodies a storied heritage of American audio innovation. Originally based in Silver Spring, Maryland, before relocating to Binghamton, New York, where products are still handcrafted today, the brand emerged from a commitment to superior sound reproduction. From powering President Lyndon Johnson's inauguration to the Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound at Woodstock, McIntosh has shaped pivotal moments in music history and pop culture, earning its place as a cultural icon.
The company specializes in a comprehensive lineup of high-fidelity components, including renowned amplifiers—particularly its revered tube models for their warm, enveloping sound—along with solid-state power amps, stereo tuners, loudspeakers, turntables, music streamers, processors, and digital-to-analog converters. This breadth supports both two-channel stereo systems and multi-channel home theaters, delivering immersive experiences in music and film. Iconic blue watt meters on their gear have become globally recognized symbols of precision and power.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, McIntosh commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising quality, luxurious build, and timeless design. Far from mid-tier or niche boutique, it stands as a premium benchmark, favored by legendary musicians and producers across decades, blending vintage allure with modern performance for those who demand the ultimate in sonic fidelity.
