NEW! ACCUPHASE DP-800 & DC-801 CD/SACD PLAYBACK SYSTEM 

 

     The new DP-800 and DC-801 is regarded as the best overall CD/SACD Playback System in the world. For some time now, Accuphase engineers have been engaged in an ambitious in-house development project: to create the ultimate SA-CD drive. With the introduction of the Accuphase DP-800, this project has now available, culminating in the SA-CD transport mechanism incorporated in this model.

Compared to a CD drive, an SA-CD drive has a higher revolution rate, and pickup positioning accuracy as well as suppression of vibrations must be of a higher order, to allow full access to the enormous amount of information stored on the disc. This in turn places formidable requirements on the mechanical construction of the drive.
The transport in the DP-800 meets these challenges in impressive fashion, being designed to extract the information on the SA-CD one-hundred percent. The product demonstrates ultimate mechanical precision matched with ingenuity and the famous Accuphase dedication to sonic excellence.

The ultra-massive SA-CD drive combines superior rigidity with rock-stable accuracy. Truly a monumental event in the world of high-end audio. In the transport, a digital servo with a dedicated DSP assures accurate readout of the signal recorded on the SA-CD using the DSD (Direct Stream Digital) principle. This is sustained by a single-lens/twin laser diode pickup mounted to a high-speed access mechanism. The transport not only realizes optimal reproduction of SA-CDs, it also is capable of extracting a super accurate signal from conventional CDs. The output for both SA-CD and CD is provided via the Accuphase exclusive high-performance digital interface HS-Link (RJ-45 connector), while the CD output is also available via a coaxial connector. The HS-Link cable supplied with the DP-800 can be used for connection to the DC-801 or to other components.

The Accuphase DC-801 Digital processor was designed for ultimate SA-CD quality. Innovative digital signal processing technology MDSD (Multiple Double Speed DSD). Moving-average filter circuit configured with delay and eight parallel converters achieves straight D/A conversion of DSD signal. Seven digital inputs for enhanced versatility. The DC-801 showcases Accuphase´s mastery of sophisticated digital technology and creative circuit topology. It is a digital processor designed to realize the ultimate in SA-CD reproduction. A new technique called MDSD (Multiple Double Speed DSD) allows straight D/A conversion of the DSD signal. MDSD employs eight MDS++ type D/A converters operating in parallel to reduce conversion errors to an absolute minimum while at the same acting as a high-cut filter that removes noise in the high-frequency range. The Direct Balanced Filter is configured with entirely separate balanced and unbalanced signal paths, and a further refined "Ultra Jitter-Free +" PLL circuit extracts the master clock for the D/A converter with absolute precision. The overall result is music reproduction that finally brings out the full sonic potential of the SA-CD format.

For connectivity to various sources, the DC-801 offers a full complement of digital inputs: HS-Link, balanced, coaxial (3 streams), and optical (2 streams). This allows the music data to be supplied to the processor without any degradation in quality. Two sets of digital outputs (coaxial and optical) let the user easily connect a digital recorder, for recording of sources other than SA-CD. And there´s even a set of EXTERNAL DSP input/output connectors that allows using the Digital Voicing Equalizer DG-38 for sound field processing in the digital domain. Link to the Accuphase DP-800 & DC-801 brochure.

NEW! ACCUPHASE DP-700 CD/SACD REFERENCE PLAYER

    When Accuphase introduced the ultimate separate-type SA-CD/CD player, the models DP-800 and DC-801, a new epoch in audio history had begun. Garnering worldwide acclaim both for their technological excellence and sound quality, the transport and processor pair has become the new reference for SA-CD reproduction. The new DP-700 is an integrated type SA-CD player incorporating that very same state-of-the-art technology. In the transport section, a dedicated DSP chip controls the digital servo to assure accurate readout of the signal recorded on the SA-CD. 

Another vital aspect is the single-lens/twin laser diode pickup mounted to a high-speed positioning mechanism, providing a significant improvement in read access times and accuracy. The processor section features the innovative MDSD principle forming a sophisticated moving average filter circuit, together with the MDS++ D/A system that keeps conversion errors to an absolute minimum and at the same time acts as high-cut filter efficiently removing noise components in the high frequency domain. Internally, the transport and processor sections of the DP-700 are kept entirely separate. Digital inputs allow independent use of the processor section for external sources to enjoy music reproduction with the same superb quality.

HIGH-END AUDIO NOTES FROM THE PALACE

 

    Through the years we have been asked many times over by audiophiles what makes a true reference CD Player, Transport/DAC different from other real world Players. What we mean is real world players is players under $10,000. Well, we can tell you from our experience that the biggest difference we find is the realism and tonality, the sound that a true reference player and DAC provides can not be touched by real world players or DAC's. 

 

There is nothing that the preamp, amplifier, speakers, cables and AC can do to fix what's not right from the start. If your music sounds thin, analytical, cold, unattached, unmusical, mechanical or forward when it gets to your preamp, there isn't much the rest of the system can do to save your high-end audio system.

 

In the past 15 years we have done many tests with world class CD Players, Transports and DAC's. I must tell you, it's hard to explain why some players deliver "magic" and most don't. True reference CD playback systems cost from $20,000 to over $70,000 now days, that's how much it cost to have a true state-of-the-art front end in your system. Most audiophiles refuse to accept that, they simply do not believe that you have to spend that much money to have a true state-of-the-art front end, so the buy players between $1000 and $8,000 to do the job and never hit audiophile nirvana.

 

Most of the time an audiophiles spends more trying to achieve the right sound by buying and trying different players through a period of time than if there were to buy what they really wanted in the first place.

 

Let's think about this last statement for a moment. You have spent all this money on your system and it still does not sound right, what could it be? The more audiophiles and high-end audio stores you speak to the more confuse you get, everyone provides a different opinion, so you start replacing components, speakers, cables, players and you still not there. Most likely you will never get there because the most important thing in a high-end system is the front-end, being CD or Vinyl, it just simply has to sound right from that start in order for you to get transported to the event.

HIGH-END AUDIO NOTES FROM THE PALACE

 

     Though the years we have been asked many times over by audiophiles what makes a true reference DAC different from other real world DAC's and CD Players. Well, we can tell you from that the biggest difference we find is the realism, tonality, lower noise floor, separation etc. The sound that a true state-of-the-art reference DAC provides can not be touched by ordinary DAC's even if it has a few years, true state-of-the-art DAC's is and always will be true state-of-the-art no matter what technology is available today and in the future.

 

There is nothing that the preamp, amplifier, speakers, cables and AC can do to fix what's not right from the start. If your music sounds thin, analytical, cold, unattached, unmusical or forward when it gets to your preamp, there isn't much the rest of the system can do.

 

In the past 15 years we have done many tests with world class DAC's. I must tell you, it's hard to explain why some DAC's deliver magic and some don't. True reference DAC's cost from $15,000 to over $30,000 now days, that's how much it cost to have a true state-of-the-art DAC in your system. Most audiophiles refuse to accept that, they simply do not believe that you have to spend that much money to have a true state-of-the-art DAC, so the buy DAC's and modded CD Players between $1000 and $6,000.00 to do the job and see the light.

 

Most of the time an audiophiles spends more trying to achieve the right sound by buying and trying different players, transports and DAC's through a period of time than if there were to buy what they really wanted in the first place.

 

Let's think about this last statement for a moment. You have spent all this money on your system and it still does not sound right, what could it be? The more people and audio places you talk to the more confuse you get, everyone provides a different opinion, so you start replacing components, speakers, cables, players and you still not there. Most likely you will never get there because the most important thing in a high-end system is the front-end, being CD or Vinyl, it just simply has to sound right from that start in order for you to hit audiophile nirvana.

Actual HR Photo of the Zanden Model 5000 LE for sale taken by Larry for High-End Palace.

     The Zanden Model 5000 LE is arguably the world's best reference Tube DAC. One of the most organic and musical sounding tube DAC ever built in the history of high-end audio. This work of art you see here is a dedicated high-end 16 Bit DAC for red book CD's only, its does not decode DVD's or any other format other than regular CD's, in other words 98% of your whole CD collection. This gorgeous Tube DAC has AES/EBU though XLR, BNC, 2 RCA Digital Inputs and RCA Analog Outputs. 

 

The 5000 Limited Edition consist of a two chassis DAC with an outboard full size power supply, the custom made 16 Bit DAC's and premium tubes. This Limited Edition DAC is the best work of art ever made by Zanden, there is a big difference in performance between this DAC and any other Zanden.

 

     The sound of this stunning DAC is so good that it makes 95% of the DAC's out there sound broken, digitize, mechanical, analytical, cold sounding. I did a side by side test with a nice turntable set up and this Zanden Tube DAC provided a sound as good as the turntable. If CD's is what you listen too on your high-end system and you have notice that the music is not engaging, smooth, natural, unattached consider a move to Zanden Land. You will hear music with this Limited Edition DAC like you have never heard before, with no digital traces, with the correct equalization and timbre. Here are a couple of reviews about ZADEN: SOUNDSTAGE and 6MOONS. This unit is in new conditions, I believe the HR Photo above speaks for its self. This unit is a 120 Volt US unit.
