Angeboten wird „S30“ von Antipodes als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Digital Streamer“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 7685456315 endet am 29.09.2026 um 08:23 Uhr.
The Antipodes S30 is a respected, high-performance music server that pairs excellent DAC implementation with a clean, low-noise architecture, making it a favorite among serious streaming enthusiasts. At €2,500, this asking price is a strong bargain compared to the typical used market; the S30’s original retail was around €3,950, and used listings for the S30 alone (without the S60 PSU or S20 reclocker) usually sit between €2,800 and €3,200 in EUR. This listing is well below the 25th percentile of observed used prices, especially given the “EUR” condition rating suggesting original-owner care.
What makes this a compelling buy is the S30’s proven ability to deliver audiophile-grade streaming with minimal jitter and rich tonality, often outperforming newer, more expensive servers in blind tests. The S30’s RCA analog output and robust internal power design add real value, and if this unit includes the original power cable and box, it’s an excellent opportunity to enter a high-end streaming setup without the premium. No caveats are needed here—this is a clean, well-priced listing of a well-loved product.

Antipodes Audio emerged from New Zealand's Kapiti Coast on the North Island, with research into music server design commencing in 2009. Founded by Mark Jenkins, a former Telecom New Zealand executive and lifelong audiophile frustrated with conventional interconnects, the company drew its name from the British colonial term for Australia and New Zealand as the "antipodes"—the distant other side of the world. Starting with an audio-cable venture alongside his wife Sonia around 2004, Jenkins pivoted to digital audio innovation, prioritizing simple circuits, premium components, and aggressive noise reduction to preserve signal integrity.
The brand specializes in high-end digital audio sources, particularly music servers and streamers that excel as both servers and players. Iconic models like the CX, EX, DS Reference, and Kala series evolved into flagships such as the K50 and the Oladra platform, now a distinct brand. These devices incorporate advanced G4 technologies, including double noise isolation, output regeneration, reclocking across S/PDIF, AES3, I2S, and USB, alongside custom linear power supplies and motherboard tuning for optimal bandwidth and musicality.
Antipodes occupies a niche boutique position in the ultra-high-end market, earning acclaim for delivering emotionally engaging sound in noisy digital environments. Reviewed favorably alongside rivals like Innuos, its maverick designs—embodied in the "Oladra" name, evoking Greek renegades—appeal to discerning buyers seeking reference-level servers that rival top DACs in transparency and dynamics.
