Angeboten wird „Accuphase DC-950“ von Accuphase als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8343648264 endet am 07.08.2026 um 14:56 Uhr.
The DC-950 sits near the top of Accuphase’s DAC lineup and has a strong reputation for refinement, scale, and low-fatigue listening, so €12,000 is not a throwaway asking price. Against the product’s original class and the fact that new listings in Europe have sat around €11,800 per unit in one retail reference, this looks fair to slightly ambitious, not a bargain, and I’d only call it a strong buy if the market is otherwise thin or the package is unusually complete.
What makes it worth considering is the combination of serious digital flexibility—including USB, balanced, coax, optical, and HS-LINK support—and the kind of dense, authoritative presentation Accuphase is known for. If it’s genuinely good condition, ideally with original box, remote, and full accessories, that helps justify the ask; these big Japanese reference DACs age best when they’ve been carefully kept and can be a long-term centerpiece rather than a spec-driven upgrade.
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.
