Accuphase DP-770 SA-CD

Our highest performing combined SA-CD/CD player.

The high-rigidity, high-precision drive traverse mechanism equipped with an outer rotor brushless DC motor drive rotates discs smoothly and delivers accurate data reading, while the 8MDSD (DSD signal) / 8MDS++ (PCM signal) type D/A converter driving the ES9028 PRO (ESS Technologies) processor in 8 parallel channels converts the inputs into highly precise analog signals. The DP-770 also incorporates numerous noise suppression technologies like ANCC* to create an unparalleled musical experience

Transporter Features and Characteristics

Accurate Reading
Vibration countermeasures in SA-CD/CD players that read audio data from rapidly rotating discs greatly impact sound quality. The DP-770 uses a highly rigid 6.9 kg (15.2 lbs) SA-CD/CD drive mounted on a 3.4 kg (7.5 lbs) bottom plate to create a low center of gravity. This prevents the housing from wobbling, while significantly reducing external vibrations from reaching the traverse mechanism. The traverse and disc loading mechanisms are assembled using elastic dampers of two different hardnesses to reduce resonance in the objective lens and actuator, thus improving reading precision.

Smooth Disc Loading
Carved from an aluminum block and then finished with a hard anodized aluminum and satin treatment, the elegant and elaborate disc tray uses high-quality dual stay bearing shafts to open and close smoothly and quietly.

Quiet Operation
The DP-770 uses an outer rotor brushless DC motor to rotate discs. The minimal vibration and operating noise of this motor create a listening environment so quiet that it almost feels like there is no rotating component at all.
