The Accuphase DP‑67 is an integrated CD player that embodies the Japanese brand’s philosophy by combining precision engineering, high‑quality materials, and meticulous sonic design. Engineered to deliver a superior musical experience, it doesn’t merely reproduce Compact Discs with exceptional fidelity; it unveils nuances and subtleties often hidden even in well-known albums. Its musical character strikes a rare balance of warmth, naturalness, and clarity, bringing the digital listening experience remarkably close to the analog realm.

At its core, the DP‑67 features a 24‑bit D/A converter based on Accuphase’s advanced MDS++ (Multiple Delta Sigma) architecture. This technology drastically reduces distortion, enhances the signal‑to‑noise ratio, ensures outstanding linearity at low signal levels, and delivers benchmark performance across all parameters. The converter is accessible via two digital inputs—optical and coaxial—allowing the DP‑67 to serve as a high‑end digital processor for external sources. Additionally, it offers digital outputs for connection to recording devices like CD‑R, DAT, or MiniDisc, enabling you to record playback from either the internal CD transport or an external digital source.

The transport mechanism is fully digitally controlled, employing adaptive circuits that optimize servo performance for each disc, enhancing operational stability and reducing read errors. The laser pickup includes an RF amplifier integrated directly into the pickup module, shielding the signal from interference and ensuring accurate, whisper‑quiet reading. Internal motors and actuators are driven by balanced circuits, preventing drive currents from affecting other electronics and preserving sonic purity. During playback, the disc tray is securely locked to eliminate any resonance that could degrade the audio quality.

The DP‑67 also offers advanced features such as “power‑on play,” allowing playback to start automatically when the unit is powered on—a convenient option for timer‑based setups—and frame display (1 frame = 1/75 sec) for precise track positioning. The analog section includes a three‑pole linear‑phase filter with excellent response characteristics, digital volume control adjustable from 0 to −40 dB in 1‑dB steps, and both balanced and unbalanced outputs for maximum compatibility with any audio system. The DP‑67 is designed for listeners who demand absolute excellence in CD playback, seamlessly blending cutting‑edge technology with a deeply engaging listening experience.
