# Taiko Audio 2TB Server – €17,990
At €17,990, this is a premium ask, but not out of line for a Taiko Extreme Server in good condition. These machines typically hold value around €16,000–€19,000 on the used market depending on spec and provenance. The 2TB storage is entry-level for the platform, so you're paying primarily for the Extreme USB output module and Taiko's legendary power delivery architecture. If the unit includes the external power supply and all original accessories, the price sits at fair-to-firm; without them, it's ambitious.
Before committing, verify the exact model year and whether it's been serviced recently—Taiko's architecture has evolved, and knowing the generation matters for longevity. Confirm the Extreme USB output is functioning flawlessly (common points of concern in high-end digital servers are USB stability and thermal management under extended use). Ask for proof of warranty status, current software version, and ideally a few hours of burn-in documentation. A reputable dealer or direct Taiko authorization adds confidence; private sale requires more caution on return options.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
