Accuphase DP-450 – CD Player And High-Resolution DAC

The Accuphase DP-450 is a CD player and high-resolution DAC that improves upon its predecessor, the DP-430, while maintaining the same price. Developed from Accuphase’s 35 years of experience in CD player design, the DP-450 combines a strong integrated CD drive mechanism, high-quality elastic dampers to protect the lens actuator from vibration, and MDS+ type D/A converters with four parallel circuits to pursue high-quality disc playback.

Silent Operation

Creating a quiet listening environment is essential for enjoying music. The DP-450 uses elastic dampers supporting the traverse mechanism to inhibit vibrations from rotating discs and significantly reduce chassis resonance. A three-layer large bridge surrounding the traverse mechanism also helps protect against vibration noise from high-speed rotation. These technologies result in a quiet machine, allowing attention to remain focused on the music.

Features Of The Accuphase DP-450

The Accuphase DP-450 features a high-grade CD drive, MDS+ type D/A converter with four parallel circuits, and a Direct Balanced Filter with separate line and balanced signal paths. It also provides programmable playlists for changing track order, sampling frequency and quantization bit display, transport outputs and digital inputs, a digital interface with USB input, digital connection with an Accuphase voicing equalizer, and balanced output phase selection.

For music lovers with a CD collection, the DP-450 CD player/DAC can potentially replace the DAC-60 module or an earlier DAC module.
