Default ACCUPHASE sound signature v/s other DACs

I have never heard the famous ACCUPHASE sound. Sorry !

I recently tested carefully 4 very high-End DACs with my BHSE amp +STAX SR009 headphone : NAGRA HD DAC, TotalDAC, dCS Rossiini & DAVE

The NAGRA HD DAC was by far the most involving and enjoyable ! It provided a lot of saoul & spirit into my music :-) ! Much more than with TotalDAC, DAVE or Rossini, all 3 being very precise and detailed but... NOT very exciting ( to my ears)

Until I heard the NAGRA HD DAC, I had the feeling that all those high-end DAC sounded almost the same, but with NAGRA there is something more, some emotion I did not get with the other DACs

So... since DP-950 + DC-950 is at the same price than the NAGRA HD DAC + NAGRA CD player, I wonder if ACCUPHASE in the same emotional territory than NAGRA ? A unique and NON_Digital sound signature like NAGRA ?

I haven't heard a Accuphase cd or day player since my dp75 I think it was years ago but I have the Arye QX5 Twenty and suggest you have a listen.

Ummmm, I don’t think so. Check very closely, but I don’t think so - everyone jump in here if I am wrong on this.

Yes it does play DSD256. The brochure doesn't specify whether you need a PC or Mac machine.

Ivan, please can you tell me if DC-950 works on a pc/laptop with Windows 10 (32-bit, 64-bit)?
There is a little ambiguous on Accuphase site.
Here it says that is works on Windows 10 (32-bit, 64-bit): http://accuphase.com/model/usb_notice2.html

But when you download the driver in his pdf appears:
"Supported Operating System
Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)
Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit)
Windows 8.1 (32-bit, 64-bit)"

I have ordered the Accuphase DC-950 and I want to know what windows should I put on the laptop or which streamer to choose. I haven't decided yet.

In the near future I also hope to take the DP-950.

Thank you for your answer!
Radu
