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.

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.
