Which player for Accuphase c2900 and a75 original esoteric k01 or an Accuphase

Congrats - from all accounts the Accuphase DP-770 is a phenomenal player - it would be on my short list if I were ever to replace my Luxman D-10x player.  Enjoy!

Hello donquichotte sorry it’s taking me a while to get back on here, I found the 550 player for lack of better term to be more than musical, obviously that’s just my taste. I found the 560 a little bit more thin and certainly on the slightly analytical side, not an absolute judgment, but for my taste, I just liked it better I hope that helps cheers BARRY 

Hi Toronto 416 funny you mentioned the Luxman unit I own the D05u  I think it is called, I am presently using it with the Accu face gear. Just thought I would go back to an Accu phase at a little bit higher tier, Lux man is totally awesome. I have a very nice PBN system with the bigger Canton 2.2 DC reference speakers it will be fun putting it in that system and see how it sounds ,,,, happy listening, my friend Barry

@bclower I received my DP-770 last Friday. Prepare your lifting strength for this :) 80 pound box and then lifting a nearly 65 pound object straight up with the integrated lift mechanism. Amazing how dense it is for a relatively compact chassis! It’s all worth it however as it is really quite a machine! Still getting used to it, but really happy with it so far. You can tell it has that Accuphase way about it. Very meaty and authentic sounding across the frequency spectrum. CDs sound so good through it! I have more CDs than SACDs so that’s a very welcome outcome. I picked up a very inexpensive streamer to test out, an iFi Zen Stream3 and it’s surpassed my expectations on just how good modern streamers can be. If you don’t obsess too much about streaming and want a good option for Tidal or Qobuz the iFI has direct modes- also supports Roon only. It’s good enough for now. Maybe if the mood and finances align I’ll try a more $$ streamer but not super caring about that as the joy of playing cds is enough and the ifi sounds shockingly good. You are in for a major treat. 
 

@bclower : thank you!

@audiopacer: Congratulations! The Accuphase dacs, either stand alone or as part of their SACD players, are somewhat underrated in my opinion. I preferred the dac in my DP550 to the Rockna Wavelight as well as to the MSB Analog Dac with the upgraded separate power supply, both of which were more detailed and had better separation (especially the MSB, which I've owned for a while) but less natural and coherent sound.
