US$1,250 is good value for this one, comfortably below what these typically asked for used and close to the kind of price that makes the risk-reward attractive. The model launched at roughly US$4,500–US$5,000 new, and even used listings I found sit notably higher, around US$1,750 for a similar AS-400 example, so this asking price looks like a real buy rather than an ambitious one.
What makes it worth chasing is the mix of serious power and all-in-one flexibility: a 400-watt Class D integrated, phono stage, and built-in network/DAC functions that made it a genuinely forward-looking design for its era. If the unit is clean, fully functional, and includes the original remote/power lead, that only strengthens the case; the main thing to verify is that the digital/streaming side still works as intended, since that’s part of the appeal here.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Micromega, a French hi-fi brand founded in 1987 by Daniel Schar, emerged from Paris with a bold focus on innovation during the digital audio revolution. Its early triumphs included the top-loading CD-F1 player and the pioneering separate transport-DAC CD setup, alongside collaborations like the acclaimed LEEDH speakers by Gilles Milot and the enduring Epure turntable by Pierre Riffaud. Acquired and revitalized by Didier Hamdi around 2007, the company upholds its heritage of in-house French design and manufacture, guided by the mantra of sound purity.
The brand excels in compact, technology-driven categories such as integrated amplifiers, CD players, preamps, power amps, DACs, streamers, and turntables. Standouts include the M-One series flagship M-150 amplifier with 150W Class-AB power, AK4490 DAC, and proprietary M.A.R.S. room correction; the ultra-compact MyAmp; and modern all-in-one solutions like the M100 streamer-DAC-amp with phono input. Past lines like AirDream and MO emphasized accessible high-performance digital and analog sources.
Micromega occupies a niche boutique position in the mid-to-high-end market, prized by discerning buyers for its forward-thinking engineering and value-driven pricing—from under €500 for entry-level amps to around $7,500 for flagships. Longevity since the 1980s earns it respect among vintage enthusiasts, while recent UK returns via Absolute Sounds affirm its cult following, though sparse warranty data tempers expectations for some.
