The European PerspectiveMert, you are right about the DAC's... its per channel. But the ratio is the same, and the sonic difference between the DP-77 and the DP-78 was slightly better at best on the Accuphase house sound.... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |

Beauty and the Beasts! (deceased)Tommy, 99 sqft is smaller than my dressing room... The only thing to fit in that are headphones! I looked into that too a while back. Stax SR-007 MkII with a SRM-007t II would be the one to conside... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |

The European PerspectiveWhen I purchased my first good CDP I auditioned all the Accuphase CDPs: DP57, DP77, DP78 and DP100/DC101 and I chose the DP-77 because I got a very good deal on it, knowing it would be the weakest ... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |

The European PerspectiveI don't understand your preference for the Accuphase, I had the DP-77 and although a great player (didn't read some SACDs though) it was blown away by my current one box Emmlabs. You need to ensure... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
