Accuphase DP-510
The DP-510 is the successor to the DP-500.
The CD mechanism in the DP-510 was developed with a simple yet demanding aim: extract the information encoded on the CD one-hundred percent. Accuphase has created an extremely rigid and ultra precise transport mechanism that attains new levels of performance.
The processor section employs six strictly selected high performance delta-sigma devices operating in parallel, forming a further refined MDS++ D/A conversion system. The analog filter which has a significant influence on sound quality is a so-called “Direct Balanced Filter” which provides totally separate analog low-pass filtering for the balanced and line signal paths. The D/A converter section can be accessed also by external equipment.
The coaxial input can handle audio data up to a sampling frequency of 192 kHz and 24-bit resolution.
The player
features the Accuphase-proprietary CD drive, which is extremely rigid and capsuled to
absorb external vibrations, whereby the laser head rests on viscous dampers. Even the
disc tray shows absolutely no rattle. A bottom plate of triple sandwich construction – a
resin plate between two steel plates – make the foundation. Insulator feet made of highcarbon cast iron provide the transition to the underlay, which can hardly be excited in any
way. In order to prevent electro-magnetic interferences, each functional array is located in
its own compartment and separated from each other by insulating baffles.
The main difference to its predecessor DP-500 however
lies in the further refinement of the MDS++ D/A-converter circuitry. Instead of four ICs of the Type 1796 from Texas Instruments there are now six of them in parallel configuration
working in the “Multiple Delta Sigma”-DAC section. According to the proud statement of
Accuphase, this new implementation is to reduce the error rate of each single device by
factor 2.45. Well, those who are fighting for the last pinch are inclined to grab such
measures. The DP-510 features two digital inputs and may therefore be
employed as a high-quality DAC for external digital signals up to 192 kHz/24 bit (coaxial).
The more since it has also got a sensitive digital volume control on board. All this was
meant to duly re-establish the distance within the player family.
If you are looking to purhase one of these yourself, here’s an idea:
