A new-generation CD player that reproduces even the most subtle musical
details Revolutionary MDS (Multiple Delta Sigma) converter with 24-bit
ultra high precision. Separate CD transport and processor sections. Ready
for handling input from new-generation digital sources such as SACD and
DVD-Audio. Fully digital control of CD mechanism.
The DP-75V incorporates the latest advances
in digital technology . Processing performance
was upgraded to handle the new generation
of super high resolution audio sources such
as SACD and DVD-Audio. Enhanced sound
quality is also available with existing CDs.
Although the DP-75V may look like a
conventional integrated Compact Disc play er,
it really consists of a separate transport
section and a digital processor each of which
can be used on its own.
The processor features a revolutionary MDS
(Multiple Delta Sigma) converter with superb
24-bit precision. This ensures ultra low
distortion and outstanding signal-to-noise
ratio. All other perf ormance aspects have also
been significantly improved. Digital inputs
allow the routing of external digital sources
through the
converter of the
DP-75V, for
playback of any
format source
with exceptional sound quality. To ensure
future upgradability , the unit has option board
slots that support the ADB 2 (Accuphase
Digital Bus 2) interface which accommodates
next-generation formats such as SACD and
DVD-Audio. The EXT DSP option board slot
allows connection of the DG-28 Digital
Equalizer for sound field compensation in the
digital domain.
The simple, refined design of the DP-75V
complements its technological prowess. The
overall result is music reproduction of such
clarity and detail definition that you will
discover a whole new dimension of enjoyment
even in long-familiar CDs.

Innovative MDS (Multiple Delta Sigma)
converter reduces distortion to theoretical
limits and assures outstanding S/N ratio
The output signal is generated by a newly
developed D/A converter
that provides
excellent performance and sound quality . The
MDS (Multiple Delta Sigma) principle employs
several delta sigma type converters in a
configuration, resulting in a dramatic
parallel
enhancement of precision.
The delta sigma
principle combines oversampling with noiseshaping (a kind of digital feedback) to project
the amplitude information of the digital signal
onto a time axis for precise conversion. Figure
2 shows several delta sigma converters that
are fed the same signal and whose outputs
are combined to arrive at the overall wav eform.

In the DP-75V six delta sigma converters are
operated in parallel, resulting in a

principle is that the
performance benefits
are achieved
regardless of signal
frequency and signal
level. Thus noise at
very low signal levels, that was difficult to
contain with conventional delta sigma
converters, can now be drastically reduced.
The audible result is music reproduction
emerging from complete silence with an
impressive sense of clarity and nuance.
Ultra jitter-free PLL circuit
For synchronizing the operation of the D/A
converter with the digital audio interface (DAI),
a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit is used
which generates a master clock to be used
as a system reference. As shown in Figure 3,

the Ultra Jitter-Free PLL Circuit of the DP-75V
consists of a preamble detector and a voltagecontrolled oscillator (VCO) using a quartz
crystal element. The master clock produced
by this PLL circuit is free from the
effects of pulse distortion and jitter.
