About the DP-450
The Accuphase DP-450 is a premium two-channel CD player with an integrated high-resolution USB/S/PDIF DAC. Its dedicated, vibration-conscious CD transport uses a non-contact optical pickup, while its MDS+ (Multiple Delta-Sigma) converter architecture parallels four ESS Technology ES9026PRO 32-bit HyperStream II DAC channels (four DAC circuits per stereo channel) for low noise and high linearity. It provides both balanced XLR and single-ended RCA analog outputs, plus coaxial, optical, and USB digital inputs and coaxial/optical digital transport outputs. The unit supports PCM to 32-bit/384 kHz and DSD to 11.2896 MHz (DSD256) over USB. Accuphase’s current official product page remains available, so it is treated as currently manufactured/marketed.
