Angeboten wird „Esoteric D-02X Reference DAC – Exceptional Condition“ von Esoteric als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9713126443 endet am 01.08.2026 um 11:14 Uhr.
A strong buy on price: at €6,000, this sits well below the €6,375 25th percentile and far under the €7,660 median for recent comparable EUR listings. Against the local used market, that makes it a clear bargain rather than merely fair value.
What makes it compelling is that this is a respected reference-grade DAC, and an “exceptional condition” example at this level of pricing is the kind of listing that usually gets snapped up quickly. If it’s complete and fully functional, the upside is excellent; I’d mainly confirm original accessories, remote, and that all inputs and outputs behave cleanly, but this is the sort of listing a serious digital buyer should move on.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Esoteric, a pinnacle of Japanese high-end audio engineering, emerged in 1987 as a dedicated brand under TEAC Corporation, building on decades of the parent company's expertise in audio innovation dating back to 1953. Born from Tokyo Television Acoustic Company's legacy, Esoteric was conceived to transcend conventional boundaries, channeling TEAC's vast experience into components that redefine sonic purity. Hand-assembled in its Tokyo factory, every piece reflects a relentless pursuit of excellence, merging cutting-edge technology with museum-quality craftsmanship.
The brand specializes in ultra-refined digital and analog source components, including Super Audio CD transports, high-resolution DACs, precision preamplifiers, and monoblock power amplifiers, as exemplified by its flagship Grandioso series. While not venturing into speakers, headphones, or cables, Esoteric focuses on core electronics that deliver unparalleled sound reproduction, with limited-edition models like the 2017 30th-anniversary black finishes underscoring its artisanal approach.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Esoteric commands reverence among discerning audiophiles for its "preeminent philosophy of sound appreciation" and timeless standards. It occupies a niche as a boutique icon of Japanese precision, where cost is no object and prestige is earned through superior acoustic engineering—recently solidified by its 2024 merger with TEAC, ensuring continued Tokyo-made dominance.
