Inside the chassis of the DP-60 , digital circuitry, such as the player, is electrically isolated from the analog circuitry by ultra high-speed, optoisolatora with a transmission capacity of 40 Mbits/second. In addition, special technology protects the internal circuitry from electromagnetic and static e;ectricity interference,, thus preventing the sound quality from being degraded by high-frequency noise. Carefully selected, top-grade 18-bit ICs are adopted for the D/A converters, each of which is precisely adjusted on the production line to achieve upper-limit performance. A 20-bit eight-time oversampling filter, the most advanced digital filter, is provided for both the left and the right channels. These digital filters are independent of each other and achieve an unnecessary bandpass attenuation of -110 dB and a bandpass ripple of ±0,00005 dB.
The DP-60 can boast a lot more of Accuphase's state-of-the-art. Technology though,, suh as a noise shaper that reduces re-quantized noise to near the theoretical lower limit, a 3-pole GIC lowpass filter with excellent amplitude and phase characteristics, a high precision digital deemphasis circuit with a deviation of ±0,001 dB and digital remote control that can adjust the gain up to -24 dB in 1 dB units.
Another feature of DP-60 is its rigid construction and high resistance to vibration and shock. The linear motor laser pickup is securely mounted on a diecast aluminium frame and the mechanism itself is fixed to a metal chassis of 1,6 mm thick, so that the vibration generated by the motor is almost completely absorbed. This construction brings the total weight of DP-60 to 14,5 kg, making it one of the heaviest CD player available.
The custom-built 8-bit microprocessor in the DP-60 gives remarkably short access time of 1 second or less.
The side panels of the Dp-60 use natural persimon board, following the design of the series of Accuphase models, with only the necessary switches on the front panel for ease of operation. Despite this implicity of appearance, the DP-60 has many convenient functions, such as "power On play" that automatically starts playback when the power is turned on, and a function to display and plaay back in units of one frame 91/75 second.
