Angeboten wird „XDS1 V2“ von EMM-Labs als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „CD Player“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 737198446 endet am 15.09.2026 um 11:36 Uhr.
€7,950 looks fair to slightly strong for an XDS1 V2 in good condition, not a bargain-basement find but comfortably in the buying zone for a reference-grade player of this caliber. The original XDS1 launched at around €24,210–€25,000, and the model’s reputation has stayed high, so this is a substantial discount if the unit is healthy and complete.
What makes it worth a look is the core appeal: EMM Labs’ house sound is famously clean, controlled, and highly resolved, with especially standout SACD performance and CD replay that gets unusually close to that standard. Buyers should value a tidy, fully working example with the remote, packaging, and evidence of recent service, because these are premium disc machines and the transport/electronics matter more than cosmetics.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
EMM Labs and Meitner Audio trace their roots to Ed Meitner, a pioneering audio engineer born in Austria who immigrated to Canada in 1969. With a career spanning over 50 years, Meitner contributed to landmark projects like the world's first automated mixing console at Olive Electrodynamics in Montreal and test equipment for Amber. He founded Museatex in the early 1980s before establishing EMM Labs in 1998 in Calgary, Alberta, followed by Meitner Audio in 2012, both carrying forward his legacy of Canadian-engineered excellence.
The brands specialize in high-performance digital and analog playback systems, renowned for their cutting-edge DACs, CD/SACD transports, and integrated playback solutions like the multi-award-winning XDS1 and MA-2. Collaborating with Sony and Philips, they refined Super Audio CD (SACD) technology, pioneering the first complete multichannel DSD playback system and setting benchmarks for high-resolution converters used in professional music production.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, EMM Labs and Meitner command respect among discerning audiophiles for their unerring fidelity, innovative engineering, and emotional engagement. Their products, handcrafted by a tight-knit team of physicists, engineers, and music lovers, represent the pinnacle of state-of-the-art hi-fi, influencing industry standards while delivering reference-level performance to homes worldwide.
