Angeboten wird „DP-500“ von Accuphase als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „CD Player“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 6645869712 endet am 07.07.2026 um 13:34 Uhr.
This is a fair ask, leaning slightly favorable: €2,100 sits just below the €2,138 25th percentile and under the €2,147 median, so it’s a touch better than the typical recent comparable rather than a deep bargain. It is not a standout steal, but it is priced well enough to be worth serious attention in this market.
That makes sense for a well-regarded player from Accuphase: the DP-500 is known for refined, smooth Red Book playback, strong build quality, and the kind of low-fatigue presentation that still wins over serious CD listeners. In good condition at this level, the upside is getting a high-end, mature machine without paying a full-market premium; just make sure the tray, display, and disc reading are solid, and that any original remote or box is included if possible.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Accuphase Laboratory, Inc., founded in 1972 in Tokyo by brothers Nakaichi and Jiro Kasuga, emerged from their departure from Trio-Kenwood, the company they had co-established decades earlier. Dissatisfied with mass-production compromises, the Kasugas formed Kensonic Laboratories—later renamed Accuphase Laboratory—and relocated to Yokohama in 1973. The brand name, blending "accurate" and "phase," reflected their commitment to precision audio reproduction amid the 1970s hi-fi boom. Their debut products, the P-300 power amplifier, C-200 preamplifier, and T-100 tuner, immediately earned acclaim, including Japan's Compo Grand Prix for the P-300.
Accuphase specializes in high-end electronics, renowned for integrated and power amplifiers, preamplifiers, tuners, CD players, and digital sources like DACs. While their core strength lies in meticulously engineered amplifiers celebrated for phase accuracy and reliability, the lineup extends to digital components, mains filters, and room correction units. Hand-assembled in Yokohama with top-tier parts and innovative circuits, these products prioritize sound purity over volume, eschewing speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-premium high-end market, Accuphase commands reverence among audiophiles for its timeless build quality, engineering excellence, and enduring performance. Synonymous with Japanese hi-fi mastery, it stands as a reference benchmark, appealing to discerning buyers seeking components that deliver uncompromised musical fidelity and last for generations.
