Introduction

The DP-1000 represents Accuphase’s 50-year pursuit of the ideal transport mechanism. Crafted for the purest data reading, it features a high-rigidity, precision-machined drive and silent loading mechanism that delivers Super Audio CD and CD data with unmatched accuracy and musicality.

Design

• Robust Chassis: Heavy, low-center-of-gravity aluminum frame minimizes vibration and resonance.
• Silent Loading: Elegant top-loader door with damped mechanism for smooth, whisper-quiet disc insertion.
• Precision Motor: Outer-rotor brushless DC motor ensures perfectly even rotation, while newly developed dampers isolate the pickup from external disturbances.

Application

Ideal as the centerpiece of high-end digital systems, the DP-1000 feeds any external DAC or digital processor via its dedicated outputs. Programmable playlists let you sequence tracks exactly as you wish, making it equally suited for critical listening sessions or curated musical presentations.

Technology Overview

• Galvanic Isolation: Separate power supplies and signal paths eliminate ground-loop and EMI noise.
• Low-Noise PSUs: Dual toroidal transformers isolate the mechanical drive from signal-processing circuits, ensuring ultra-quiet operation.
• Accuphase Voicing EQ: Built-in digital equalization tailors output to your system’s character.
• Digital Reclocking: Internal precision clock and buffering maintain bit-perfect timing to downstream converters.

Key Features

• High-rigidity, high-precision aluminum-machined SA-CD/CD drive
• Outer-rotor brushless DC motor with vibration-dampening pickups
• Programmable playlist function
• Dual toroidal transformers for mechanical and signal circuits
• Accuphase voicing equalizer and HS-LINK/Coaxial outputs
• Low center-of-gravity design for maximum stability
