I have heard the X03 and other Accuphase players (but not the DP500). With that being said, if the DP500 is like the 75v or 65v I would say the X03 gives detail and resolution, great bass and imaging. The accuphase will be smooth and nice, but not a lot of resolution, dynamics or detail......quite frankly I dont get Accuphase products....they just dont reveal anything in the soundstage to me and are no better than my 17 year old $100 JVC player. But that is my personal preference for sound, I want to hear everything.
