DP550 with DC-37
Anyone have experience with Accuphase CD player with outboard DAC. Especially the DC-37. love to hear your thoughts. I know there is a review on the Accuphase website on this upgrade.

I‘ve had this combination for a while, using HS-Link with an AQ Diamond cable. In parallel, the 550 was directly connected to my C-3850 via XLR.
With some CD/SACD the DC was slightly above the 550, with others I was not able to distinguish. In addition, HS-Link had problems when playing multi-layer SACD. Later I‘ve got a DP-720 to replace the 550.

I use mine with a DP-77 and HS-Link and the Accuphase cable.
I just select the required layer on the DP-77 and the DC-37 just plays it. The HS-Link cable can make a difference I've read |

My DC-37 is still in use as DAC for my TV, Oppo 203 and Auralic Aries streaming bridge.

How does the DC-37 compare to the digital inputs on the DP-720?

I have the 3850, dc-37 and the A-70 as well. I considered getting the 550 with the DC-37. They compare the digital side of the DC-37 with the 720. Unless you like the CD’s there is no reason to get either the 550 or 720 with the Dc-37. I have not heard any difference between them.

Especially with excellent SACDs the DP-720 sounds great to me.

I had an opportunity to compare DP-550 with DP-720 on C-3850+ A-70
A difference was impressive for me |
