Since you are in Canada, instead of grey market, I would recommend contacting Planet of Sound (Toronto) or Element Acoustics (Vancouver). Both are excellent dealers from my experience.
The fully supported warranty, service, lack of import duty, and 120V version is well worth, even given the excellent reliability and track record for Accuphase. A Japan import is not at all supported by Accuphase Japan either.
Best wishes,
Rene
P.S.: The DC37 is excellent. I tried or listened to quite a few DACs in the 10k range (Wavelength Cosecant silver, MSB Analog, Lampizator) and below (Chord Hugo, Benchmark, Weiss, Auralic). My top choices are the Wavelength (slight preference for Jazz) and the DC37 (preference for Classical).
