contents We report the first result from a dark photon dark matter search in the mass range from ${78.62}$ to $83.95~\mathrm{μeV}/c^2$ with a dielectric haloscope prototype for MADMAX (Magnetized Disc and Mirror Axion eXperiment). Putative dark photons would convert to observable photons within a stack consisting of three sapphire disks and a mirror. The emitted power of this system is received by an antenna and successively digitized using a low-noise receiver. No dark photon signal has been observed. Assuming unpolarized dark photon dark matter with a local density of $ρ_χ=0.3~\mathrm{GeV/cm^3}$ we exclude a dark photon to photon mixing parameter $χ> 2.7 \times 10^{-12}$ over the full mass range and $χ> 1.1 \times 10^{-13}$ at a mass of $80.57~\mathrm{μeV}/c^2$ with a 95\% confidence level. This is the first physics result from a MADMAX prototype and exceeds previous constraints on $χ$ in this mass range by up to almost three orders of magnitude.
