Digital signal processing is implemented through an ultra high speed FPGA in conjunction with innovative MDSD reproduction technology, forming a double-speed high-precision moving-average filter circuit for straight D/A conversion of the DSD signal. Eight digital inputs including USB with support for 11.2896 Mhz (1 bit 2-channel DSD) and 384 kHz (32 Bit 2 Channel PCM), as well as an HS-Link Connector (Ver. 1 and 2) provide enhanced versatility for the ultimate in performance and sonic purity.
The DC-1000 brings an 11% improvement in noise levels over the DP-950 at just 123dB.
The Accuphase DC-1000 Digital Audio Processor is designed for audiophiles building a reference-grade digital front end who want maximum control, precision, and refinement from their digital sources. It suits listeners who already own high-end streaming, CD, or SACD transport components and are looking for a dedicated processor that elevates overall system performance.
This unit is particularly well suited to highly resolving separates systems with premium pre/power amplification and revealing loudspeakers in medium to large dedicated listening rooms. It excels in setups where transparency, timing accuracy, and soundstage precision are priorities, allowing digital playback to achieve a more natural, analogue-like flow.
The DC-1000 is ideal for experienced listeners who want to go beyond standard DAC performance and take full advantage of advanced digital processing and system optimisation. It integrates naturally into high-end Accuphase-based systems or other reference-level setups where every component is chosen for ultimate fidelity.
For customers building a no-compromise digital playback chain, the DC-1000 represents a long-term reference solution—delivering exceptional clarity, stability, and musical realism at the highest level of digital audio performance.
