Accuphase DP-560

Technical high lights of DP-560 are newly developed SA-CD drive and ultra low THD and noise performance. They are inherited from our flagship SA-CD transport DP-950 and digital processor DC-950.

DP-560 can show the sampling frequency and the number of effective bits of all input signals on the front display.

The dimension of DP-560 is as same as those of DP-550. The weight becomes slightly heavier than DP-550. This is due to the reinforcement of power supply circuit and new SA-CD drive mechanism.

The Bridge cover of SA-CD drive mechanism is bigger and longer than that of DP-550. This is very effective for reducing noise caused of motor drive and air flow by disc rotation. This cover is three storied parts, molded base, iron insulator, and aluminum cover. There are uncountable air gaps between each materials to absorb vibration. Furthermore, laser pickup module is mounted with
vibration absorbers. Those are made of the silicon which is selected from many kinds of silicon materials for this mechanism. By these complete techniques, total noise level you hear
has been reduced dramatically. It become less than one third of DP-550. In fact, you can hear nothing.

DP-560 is applied systematical layout. Each circuit block is logically placed to make the signal path short as possible. The digital circuit is on the right side and analog circuit is on the left side at the back panel side. Logic control board is on the right side of SA-CD drive mechanism, and on the left side, reinforced power supply is installed with the power transformer.

Ultra Low Noise is one of the main technical features of DP-560. The former model, DP-550 has the excellent noise performance, however, DP-560 achieves 20% output noise voltage lower than DP-550. DP-560 guarantees 119dB Signal to Noise ratio which means 2.8uV of output noise voltage.

For D/A converter section, Accuphase updates the DAC chip to ESS Technology's 32bit Hyperstream DAC ES9018S for DP-560. ES9018S has 8 DACs inside, and DP-560 uses 4 DACs
connected in parallel per channel with Accuphase's unique technology, MDS+ conversion system.
Full-balanced structure is employed after D/A converter section in DP-560.
In addition, the independent low pass filter is installed for each audio output.
Due to this, the sound signals from all the outputs become high quality.

DP-560 has 4 digital inputs, Coaxial, Optical, HS-LINK and USB.
USB Input accepts 384kHz/32bit-PCM or 11.2896MHzDSD. DSD data can be received both DoP DSD over PCM and ASIO2.1.
HS-LINK has been evolved into Version2.
Original HS-LINK(Ver.1) transmits and receives only 192kHz/24bit-PCM or 2.8224MHz-DSD, but Ver.2 comes to be able to transmit and receive 384kHz/32bit-PCM, 5.6648MHz-DSD. DP-560 automatically recognizes either Ver.1 or Ver.2 transmissions.
