The long-awaited Accuphase DC-500 has arrived: a completely new, high-end digital to analogue converter that represents the latest generation of digital technology from Accuphase.

As our musical sources grow and diversify, DACs have become an increasingly important part of systems and DC-500 is ready for almost any modern digital source: it has six digital inputs, including two USB, so whether you’re listening via a high-end streamer, music server, computer or CD transport, you can benefit from Accuphase conversion.

DC-500 adopts the technology of Accuphase’s top model DC-1000, including flagship tech like 8-channel parallel ES9028PRO MDS++/MDSD architecture and ANCC low-noise circuitry, at a more accessible price point to a wider audience. The eight parallel D/A converter circuits work together for an exceptionally low distortion, extremely low noise and an impressive natural music reproduction. The patented ANCC technology (Accuphase Noise and Distortion Cancelling Circuit) ensures that even the smallest musical details are fully preserved.

Key features:

  • 8MDSD / 8MDS++ D/A converter with ANCC
  • Direct BalancedFilter with completely separate Line and Balanced signal paths using ANCC
  • Proprietary muting circuit eliminates all relay switching noise between tracks
    Sampling frequency and quantization bit display
  • 6 digital inputs (HS-LINK, USB × 2, OPTICAL × 2, COAXIAL)
  • Balanced output phase selector
  • Natural grain side panels with a high-gloss finish
  • Top plate with anodized aluminum hairline finish
