Accuphase DP-470

Accuphase DP-470

The Accuphase DP-470 is a premium CD and SACD player that combines exceptional disc playback with advanced digital conversion. Designed for serious music lovers, it pairs a precision-built transport with Accuphase’s renowned MDS+ converter technology. As a result, it delivers remarkable clarity, natural tonality and effortless musical flow.

Precision Begins with the Transport

Every great digital performance starts with accurate data retrieval. Therefore, the DP-470 features a high-grade disc drive that loads CDs and SACDs quietly while reading data with exceptional precision. This stable foundation allows the player to recover fine musical details before conversion even begins.

Consequently, instruments sound more focused, dynamics remain natural and timing feels exceptionally coherent.

Advanced MDS+ Digital Conversion

At the heart of the DP-470 is Accuphase’s advanced MDS+ (Multiple Delta Sigma) D/A converter. Four parallel converter circuits work together with ANCC (Accuphase Noise and Distortion Cancelling Circuit) technology to reduce noise and distortion. As a result, the player creates a quieter background, greater transparency and smoother musical textures.

In addition, the Direct Balanced Filter keeps the balanced and unbalanced signal paths completely separate. This preserves signal purity throughout the output stage.
