How good is Accuphase DP-700 SACD/CD Player

Memo84,

please be sure to report your findings concerning the dp-700.. I have also tried the dp-500 at home and found it incredible (however only after 3-4 days burn-in). Thanks!

Dp78 is a step up from DP500. More refinement, more articulate and more detailed.
I heard from a friend that DP700 is miles ahead of DP78, can just imagine Dp500 vs Dp700.

I think we all know that DP-700 is miles ahead - but we want to hear this and more from AN USER. Now - where's that User...

I have had it in my system for over two weeks. And before that - DP-78 and DP-500.

That was a part of mt "new CDP" quest. I have also tried the Krell 505, Naim CD555, EMM SE combo, MBL 1531 and ARC Ref CD-7.

I liked DP-700 and Ref CD 7 the best, although IN MY SYSTEM, which is all-ARC, CD-7 had a slight edge.

But you can't go wrong with DP-700, IMO. And its build quality is second to none in the biz - it actually reminds me of my neighbour's Bentley GT Speed.

Hi Elberoth2

That's an assurance for the Accuphase in the sonic & fit-n-finish departments. Thank you!! So, is it close to their flagship - 800/801 combo?

Cheers!
