Hi marcossy,
I started out with a Accuphase E-550 / DP-500 combo, was very happy with that. Then I decided to buy a decent cable loom, took my gear to a shop and listened for a full day to make a decision on the cables. After choosing the cables the shop owner asked me if he could do one change in the set up. I said ok and he changed the DP-500 for the Ayre CX7e mp, this player completely outplayed the Accuphase DP-500 (and 2000,- less). I ended up leaving the Accuphase player in the shop and ordered a new Ayre CX7e mp.
After that I have always had a Ayre or Wadia player in my set up, never looked into Accuphase players again, to be fair a DP-700/720 might do a good job, but price is higher also.
