Angeboten wird „NS1“ von EMM-Labs als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Digital Streamer“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 1547405758 endet am 26.08.2026 um 06:10 Uhr.
At €3,000, this EMM NS1 is priced ambitiously, sitting well above the 75th percentile of €2,503 and the median of €2,173 from recent EUR comparables. While new units retail around €4,200, the asking price exceeds the typical used market cluster in the mid‑€2k region, making it a tough buy unless the condition is pristine or accessories are exceptional.
The NS1 remains a highly regarded, high-resolution streamer that excels in networked audio, supporting PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz, DSD, MQA, and seamless integration with Tidal, Qobuz, and Roon. Its galvanic isolation via EMM OptiLink and precision chassis offer meaningful upside for system fidelity, especially when paired with EMM Labs DACs. For a clean, original-owner listing, this could still be a worthwhile opportunity despite the premium, provided no hidden wear or missing accessories exist.

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.

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.
