Key Features  

• Ultra-Rigid SA-CD/CD Drive: High-precision mechanism with a two-layer steel base, floating design, and low center of gravity minimizes vibration and jitter for accurate disc reading.  
  
• MDS++ D/A Converter: Eight parallel DAC circuits per channel (ESS Technology ES9038PRO) with a newly developed low-noise filter amplifier reduce noise by 10% compared to the DP-750, ensuring transparent audio.  
  
• Fully Balanced Signal Path: Balanced analog output circuitry with four low-noise monolithic ICs per channel minimizes interference for pristine sound and excellent phase accuracy.  
  
• Versatile Connectivity: Includes coaxial, optical, USB (up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM, DSD256), and HS-Link (up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM, DSD256) digital inputs; coaxial, optical, and HS-Link digital outputs; and balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analog outputs.  
  
• Low Noise Design: Achieves a signal-to-noise ratio of 123 dB and total harmonic distortion of 0.0006%, delivering noise-free, high-fidelity playback.  
  
• Digital Level Control: Adjustable output level (0 to -40 dB) for precise integration with preamplifiers like the Accuphase C-3900 or C-2900.  
  
• Robust Power Supply: Four toroidal transformers (two for analog, two for digital/transport) and 40,000μF filtering capacitors ensure stable, clean power with complete circuit separation.  
  
• Intuitive Controls: Front-panel controls and RC-250 remote offer easy operation, including play, skip, repeat, programmable track selection, and SA-CD/CD layer selection. 
  
• Elegant Design: Champagne gold panel, persimmon wood side panels, and backlit display reflect Accuphase’s premium craftsmanship.  
  
• Handcrafted in Japan: Meticulous construction with premium components ensures reliability and sonic excellence.
