Very nice. Doesn't take much power to drive those headphones. Should be sublime with your new DP-430.

My E-270 should arrive on or about 1/10/18. Will be using HD650s with it. Now the waiting begins.

Outstanding! Love the photos and enjoy the gear! I find myself looking into accuphase more and more these days...

Could not agree more with Brian's take on the E-270. 44 pounds in the relatively thin chassis makes it a very "dense" piece of gear.
After 10+ days of round-the-clock playing (probably 70% FM, 20% digital and 10% analog) I think I can safely say my E-270 is broken-in. Major change over this time to my ears has been the extension at both ends, especially the bass, and depth of the sound-stage. What nice piece of gear. The AD-50 phono-card does an excellent job thus far with the Ortofon 2M Black and AT33R. Will see how it does with the Lyra Kleos shortly.

I had the chance to audition the E-270 yesterday. What an amazing piece of gear. I had a great opportunity to mix and match both amps and speakers and here are the mixes and impressions:

Accuphase E-270
Simaudio Moon 600i
Octave V110

Sonus Faber Olympica II
Focal Kanta No. 2

Aurender N10 for the source into a Simaudio Moon 750d DAC.

The Sonus sounded great with each amp. What a nice set of speakers. Very musical and relaxed. It had great imaging, soundstage and detail with all of them, but honestly sounded best with the Accuphase.

With the Focal's it was an exercise in contrasts:

The Octave was almost unlistenable for me. Im not sure what it was with this amp but with the Beryllium tweeters, it was edgy and harsh. It didn't matter what material I was playing, it was way too bright.

The Simaudio was better. Very clean, detailed and nice soundstage. I would be happy with this amp, but it was almost twice as much in price as the Accuphase. If i was going to spend $9k, i'd go with the upgraded Accuphase (370 or 470) or stretch for the E-650 and go class A.

The E-270 was an amazing match with both speakers. Great detail, nice bottom end, crisp highs and a deep soundstage. I was floored that this piece pretty handily beat two amps almost twice its price. Now to figure out how to afford one....

Yes....... couldn't be happier with the E-270. Like Brian and me, talk to Ivan. Maybe he can 'work some magic' to help you join the "E-270 Club".
