Accuphase DP-1000 Precision SA-CD Transport
Flagship SA-CD/CD transport with ultra-precise digital output and vibration-free engineering for uncompromising high-fidelity playback.
The Accuphase DP-1000 Precision SA-CD Transport is the ultimate expression of Accuphase’s engineering mastery. Designed for audiophiles seeking the purest possible disc playback, the Accuphase DP-1000 features a fully machined aluminum transport with an outer-rotor brushless DC motor and a low-center-of-gravity layout that eliminates vibration and mechanical noise. Every detail of its construction is optimized to preserve digital data integrity for flawless transmission to a companion DAC.
Inside, the Accuphase DP-1000 uses a newly refined disc read system that extracts information with extraordinary precision. A high-stiffness frame, solid aluminum panels, and cast iron insulators create an acoustically inert structure. This design ensures stable performance and minimal resonance, resulting in cleaner signal output and remarkable musical accuracy.
Digital output is provided through HS-LINK Ver.2 and Ver.1 ports for DSD and PCM data, along with a coaxial output for CD playback. The Accuphase DP-1000 can also handle data discs containing high-resolution WAV, FLAC, DSF, or DSDIFF files, making it an ideal digital transport for today’s finest audio systems. Combined with a matching Accuphase DAC, such as the DC-1000, it delivers reference-level playback that reveals the full emotion and depth of your recordings.
