The SA-CD/CD drive is mounted firmly to a strong aluminum frame, and the drive loading mechanism and mechanical base form a massive and highly rigid chassis of considerable weight (total 11.7 kg). The drive unit also has a lower placement than its predecessor for a lower centre or gravity and increased stbility.
The DP-1000 is the perfect choice for audiophiles who value precision and detail. This transport is designed to bring out the best in your digital music collection, revealing subtle nuances and musical textures that may have been previously obscured.
The Accuphase DP-1000 supports the programmable playlist function. Select your track playing order, then sit back and enjoy your music, your way.
A digital servo system with a dedicated DSP for control of the optical pickup and the various motors allows optimized operation for SA-CD and CD media respectively, assuring stable and highly accurate signal readout.
The Accuphase DP-1000 Precision SACD Transport is designed for serious audiophiles building a reference-level digital front end who already use a high-quality external DAC or digital processor. It suits listeners who want the purest possible disc transport performance, with absolute focus on timing accuracy, stability, and signal integrity.
This transport is ideal for high-end separates systems where SACD and CD playback remain an important part of the listening experience. Paired with a top-tier DAC, it delivers a highly stable and precise digital signal, allowing downstream components to perform at their full potential. It is particularly well suited to revealing systems where timing, imaging, and low-level detail are critical.
The DP-1000 is best matched with premium preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and high-resolution loudspeakers in dedicated listening rooms. In these environments, its ability to minimise jitter and preserve signal purity translates into a more focused soundstage, improved depth, and greater musical coherence.
For listeners building a no-compromise disc-based digital system, the DP-1000 represents a long-term reference transport—engineered for those who still value physical media but demand the highest possible level of digital performance.
