Offered is „Melco D 100“ by DELA as exhibit from the category „Tuner / Receiver / Network Device“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3106015409 ends on 12.10.2026 at 06:10 o'clock.
At €999, this Melco D100 listing is ambitious, sitting well above the recent used median of €698 and the 75th percentile of €856. It’s not a bargain; you’re paying roughly €300 more than what comparable listings have recently asked.
That extra cost is justified only if you’re building a top-tier ripping rig and value the D100’s Japanese-engineered precision for reading difficult CDs. The D100 is a niche, highly regarded optical drive designed to extract bit-perfect rips with exceptional accuracy, often paired with Melco’s N-series music servers. If the unit is in good condition, original-owner, and includes its power supply and USB cable, it’s still a solid buy for serious ripper enthusiasts—but at this price, it’s a premium choice, not a deal.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Melco, standing for Maki Engineering Laboratory Company, traces its origins to 1975 in Nagoya, Japan, where audiophile Makoto Maki founded the brand amid the vibrant audio scene. Starting with a retail outpost called the Mel Shop in the Ame-Yoko Radio Center, Maki overcame early financial hurdles by fostering a community for enthusiasts, blending commerce with innovation. This heritage of passion and perseverance propelled Melco from modest audio manufacturing into a powerhouse, eventually evolving into the Buffalo group while retaining its audiophile roots.
The brand's early focus centered on high-fidelity components, most notably turntables that redefined music reproduction standards upon their 1980 UK debut. After pivoting to computer peripherals, Melco revived its hi-fi legacy around 2014, now specializing in audiophile-grade networked audio solutions. These include music servers, NAS drives, Ethernet switches, and digital streamers, engineered for seamless hi-res playback without the pitfalls of standard computing gear.
Positioned firmly in the high-end niche, Melco commands respect among discerning buyers for its rigorous R&D and uncompromised digital source performance. Revived products echo the excellence of its vintage forebears, earning accolades from hi-fi press and solidifying its role as a boutique leader in streaming and storage. Collectors and modern streamers alike value its Japanese precision, now under DELA Inc. for its 50th milestone.
