Angeboten wird „CD player DP-450“ von Accuphase als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „CD Player“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5391535311 endet am 04.08.2026 um 23:20 Uhr.
This is a fair ask, though it sits a bit above the center of your recent comp set: €4,100 versus a €3,564 median, with the 25th percentile at €3,296 and the 75th at €3,832. It is not a bargain, but it is still close enough to the upper end of normal that I’d call it reasonably anchored rather than inflated.
The appeal here is the usual Accuphase package: excellent transport quality, refined Red Book playback, and the sort of low-fatigue presentation that makes it easy to live with long term. A clean, well-kept unit can be worth paying up for if the seller can show careful ownership, original accessories, and solid laser/transport behavior; at this price, I’d want that reassurance, but I would not dismiss the listing on price alone.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Accuphase Laboratory, Inc., founded in 1972 in Tokyo by brothers Nakaichi and Jiro Kasuga, emerged from their departure from Trio-Kenwood, the company they had co-established decades earlier. Dissatisfied with mass-production compromises, the Kasugas formed Kensonic Laboratories—later renamed Accuphase Laboratory—and relocated to Yokohama in 1973. The brand name, blending "accurate" and "phase," reflected their commitment to precision audio reproduction amid the 1970s hi-fi boom. Their debut products, the P-300 power amplifier, C-200 preamplifier, and T-100 tuner, immediately earned acclaim, including Japan's Compo Grand Prix for the P-300.
Accuphase specializes in high-end electronics, renowned for integrated and power amplifiers, preamplifiers, tuners, CD players, and digital sources like DACs. While their core strength lies in meticulously engineered amplifiers celebrated for phase accuracy and reliability, the lineup extends to digital components, mains filters, and room correction units. Hand-assembled in Yokohama with top-tier parts and innovative circuits, these products prioritize sound purity over volume, eschewing speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-premium high-end market, Accuphase commands reverence among audiophiles for its timeless build quality, engineering excellence, and enduring performance. Synonymous with Japanese hi-fi mastery, it stands as a reference benchmark, appealing to discerning buyers seeking components that deliver uncompromised musical fidelity and last for generations.
