Accuphase DC-500 Precision MDSD Digital Processor

The DC-500 takes technology developed for the flagship DC-1000 DAC and brings it into a more compact standalone digital processor.

An 8-parallel-channel MDSD/MDS++ converter with ANCC noise reduction handles the conversion, and six digital inputs, including two USB ports, cover everything from computers to disc transports. A dedicated muting circuit eliminates the relay-switching noise that can otherwise creep in between tracks.
