Angeboten wird „Puralio“ von Playback Designs als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Vorverstärker / Prozessor“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 6125143586 endet am 25.09.2026 um 20:28 Uhr.
Good condition helps here: at €1,750, this sits well below the €3,875 25th percentile and far under the €5,162 median of your recent EUR comps, so it reads as a strong bargain rather than just a fair ask. Against the upper tail, it is also nowhere near the €15,032 75th percentile, which makes the pricing look especially buyer-friendly.
That’s the kind of number that makes sense if you want to get into a well-regarded Playback Designs piece without paying up. The brand is respected for very low-noise, highly resolving digital playback with a naturally refined presentation, so the upside is getting serious high-end performance at a deep discount. For a good-condition unit, I’d prioritize confirming included power supply, remote, and any original packaging or documentation, since completeness can matter more on resale than cosmetics.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Playback Designs emerged in 2008, founded by Andreas Koch, a pioneering digital audio engineer with roots tracing back to the early days of the format. Beginning his career at Studer ReVox in Switzerland in 1982, where he built the world's first fully asynchronous digital sample rate converter, Koch later honed his expertise at Dolby Labs, Studer Editech in California—creating the enduring Dyaxis hard disc recorder—and EMM Labs, developing revolutionary sample rate conversion algorithms, discrete D/A converters, and clock management architectures. Blending Swiss-German engineering precision with American entrepreneurial drive, the California-based brand launched with an integrated SACD/CD player incorporating 25 years of Koch's innovations.
The company specializes in high-performance digital playback systems, focusing on DACs, network players, and integrated processors like the MPD-6, MPS-X, MPD-8, and series such as Edelweiss and Dream. eschewing off-the-shelf D/A chips, Playback Designs employs custom Xilinx FPGA-based designs programmed with Koch's proprietary code for jitter-free, ultra-high-resolution conversion. Their expandable architectures unite digital signal processing with meticulously crafted analog output stages, often designed in collaboration with engineers like Bert Vogt or Bert Gerlach, prioritizing sonic purity over conventional components.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audiophile market, Playback Designs commands respect among discerning listeners for delivering reference-level transparency and musicality in digital sources. Known for from-the-ground-up innovations that outperform mass-market rivals, the brand appeals to buyers seeking no-compromise performance in a niche boutique realm, where proprietary algorithms and modular platforms ensure future-proof excellence.
