Akurate DS/0 mit Katalyst Upgrade 2019 und UTOPIK Netzteil Upgrade 2025 (Wert 1600 Euro).
Verkauf von privat ohne Gewährleistung noch Rücknahme
At €2,300, this Linn Akurate DS beats the obvious alternative of buying a newer entry-level streamer, sitting just under the €2,322 median of recent EUR comps and well below the €2,499 asking price for the DS/2 variant. It is a fair price, not a bargain, but solid value given it matches the 75th percentile ceiling of €2,322 without exceeding it.
The Akurate DS remains a top-tier network streamer for its seamless integration with Linn’s Exakt ecosystem and pristine DAC performance, making it a worthwhile buy for anyone building a Linn system. Since the listing claims excellent condition and the price is fair, this is a genuine buying opportunity rather than a risk, especially if it includes the original power supply and Exakt Link cable, which are critical for full functionality.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Linn Products: Brand Overview
Linn Products was founded in 1973 by Scottish engineer Ivor Tiefenbrun in Glasgow as a vehicle to manufacture the Sondek LP12 turntable, which would become the company's most iconic product and a cornerstone of high-fidelity audio. The brand emerged during the golden era of British hi-fi with a revolutionary "source first" philosophy—challenging the prevailing industry belief that loudspeakers mattered most by demonstrating that superior sound quality begins with the audio source. This foundational principle has guided the company's engineering ethos for over five decades.
Linn's product portfolio spans the complete hi-fi chain, from turntables and tonearms to preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and loudspeakers. The company introduced the world's first microprocessor-controlled preamplifier and power amplifier in 1985 (the LK1 and LK2), establishing itself as an electronics specialist. From 2007 onward, Linn pivoted toward digital music streaming, becoming an early adopter of network-based audio playback supporting studio master-quality recordings at 24-bit/192 kHz resolution, and discontinued CD player production in 2009 to focus on this strategic direction.
Linn occupies the high-end segment of the audio market, commanding respect among discerning audiophiles and collectors for its uncompromising engineering approach and longevity. The brand's reputation rests on meticulous product design, acoustic isolation principles, and a commitment to eliminating weak links in the signal chain—a philosophy that has made Linn one of the most influential manufacturers in hi-fi history and a benchmark for quality-focused audio engineering.
