Description

The Accuphase DC-500 was designed around one essential mission: to preserve the integrity of the music as the digital signal is converted to analog.

To achieve this, Accuphase incorporates several technologies developed for its reference DC-1000 converter. Its 8MDSD and 8MDS++ architecture uses eight parallel conversion circuits, complemented by ANCC technology to further reduce noise and distortion.

This pursuit of precision extends throughout its design, including completely separate signal paths for balanced and unbalanced outputs, along with independent power transformers for the analog and digital sections.

With six digital inputs — HS-LINK, two USB, two optical, and one coaxial — the DC-500 can accommodate multiple sources and become the digital heart of an ambitious high-fidelity system.

It is a distinctly Accuphase approach: highly sophisticated engineering serving a remarkably simple purpose — preserving the signal and allowing the music to retain its full integrity.
