Accuphase DP-720
Some exciting news folks! Accuphase have dropped the long awaited replacement for the DP-700, named the DP-720. My first impression is, damn that is a pretty looking thing! The DP-720 benefits from filter down technology from the flagship DP-900/DC-901 products. The main differences appear to be a more rigid and refined transport mechanism which is better damped and includes a "chucking magnet" to keep the disc stable & more refined MDSD D/A converter.
Accuphase also appear to have been listening and added support for DSD discs with DSD file format, full 24/192 sampling in PCM, a USB input, numeric display of sampling frequency and cool features like a phase selector switch (similar to my old Ayon CD-5s) & DSP connections to allow sound field correction via the DG-58. On the specs side, the DP-720 has slightly better signal/noise at 119db and a slightly lower THD figure of 0.0006%. Dynamic range and channel separation have correspondingly improved. Another interesting spec is the DP-720 is 1kg heavier which I suspect is mostly due to the more robust transport mechanism. Bodhi Last edited by Masterlu; 05-01-2014 at 08:07 PM.

Beautiful! The player looks elegant and the interior design is well engineered and executed.
Thanks for posting David!

Nice piece. Thanks for posting. I've never heard the term "chucking magnet" before.

Neither have I. There is an image of the magnet in the PDF on the product page. Assuming you're using a strong enough magnet, it is plausible you could stabilize the disc due by to the aluminium layer on most cd/sacd's

My DP700 was not great at first but after a run in, it's so awesome I hardly play vinyl anymore. Only got it this year so can't justify the change, but I'm sure this will be another leap forward.

I used to own the DP700 as well. Might have to put this player on my shortlist.
