new Accuphase dp 500?

To make the DP500-song complete: one should definitely also use it´s DAC section.
I connected my squeezebox via TOSlink to the digital input, and Pandora sounded suddenly nearly as impressive as the CD section..

well is is very very good, but after comparing to the Emm labs cdsa se and Lindemann 820 is quite inferior to them and the price difference is accepted. Of course in Europe the euro currency balance favors the Emm labs very much and is a bargain to the japanese Accuphase and it's a lot lot better. Only lindemann 820 is strong contestant.

Kops,
Check Accuphase Dp-78 out!

I did is inferior to Emm cdsa and Lindemann 820 and Esoteric p03/d03.
Emm cdsa se is awesome and best value for money from all the above, which are reference class.

Kops,

In Europe the price for Emm labs cdsa is 12000 EUR (US $16500) while the Accuphase is 5600 EUR (US $7700). Obviously they are not in the same price category. Or are you going to import a 115V model Emm labs from the US? ;-)
