Accuphase DP-57 vs DP-67 Comparison


Hi,

Now since the DP 57 has been in the market for some time, Has anyone done an A/B comparison of the DP-57 against the DP-67? is the DP-67 worth the additional bucks?

Thank you.

Having spent several months with the DP-57, my opinion is that it images extremely well, and is very musically involving. Plus, it has the smoothest opening and closing CD tray. I love the build quality! The Accuphase units invert phase out of the balanced outputs compared to most domestic units, so you have to take this in to consideration when listening. I guess it’s also a matter of system synergy. I am now using an Audio Research Ref Two MKII preamp in to a VT100 MKIII amp, with Tyler Linbrook Signature speakers. The Ref Two MKII preamp has a phase invert switch that allows for out of phase adjustments. This makes a noticeable difference in sound presentation on certain CD’s. For another opinion, check out the review on www.avguide.com. Good luck!
Thanks again guys, finally i got the two units new the DP57 and DP67 run through my system plus my old DP 55.
At the end I kept the DP 67 because it was much more dynamic, i heared better resolution and more three dimensional sound. However I felt that the DP55 and DP57 are much smoother than the DP67. As i mentioned both units were new and i did not have enough time to play them more than 20 hours to reach this conclusion. So i really do not know if this will be the case after proper break in. Ill post my final opinion after spending more time with the DP67, and Ill definetly try to check the DP78 when i have a chance.
