Discrete D/A Converter: The DP-70 utilizes a discrete D/A converter, employing super-precision, high-performance elements to achieve theoretical limit precision in 16-bit digital-to-analog conversion.
High-Quality Filters: It incorporates advanced 5-pole GIC type Butterworth low-pass filters and four-times oversampling digital filters with exceptional ripple (±0. 00005dB) and attenuation (-100dB) figures.
Electrical Isolation: Digital and analog circuits are electrically isolated using high-speed optocouplers and have independent power supplies to prevent interference.
Vibration Resistance: The player boasts a heavy (21kg) and sturdy chassis with a thick metal frame supporting the rotating mechanism, effectively minimizing vibration and resonance. The legs are often lathed from solid brass for further resonance control.
Simple Operation: Despite its advanced technology, the DP-70 prioritizes ease of use with minimal front panel controls (Play, Track Search, Pause). Other functions are often hidden in a sub-panel or accessible via a remote control (model RC-1).
Analog-like Sound: Many reviews praise the DP-70 for its natural, realistic, and warm sound, often described as very "analog-like" and capable of creating a wide and deep soundstage.
Comprehensive Outputs: Offers both fixed and variable RCA outputs, as well as balanced XLR outputs for analog. Digital outputs include coaxial and optical options.
Single Master Clock: The rotation system is controlled by a single master clock to prevent beat generation from using separate clocks for digital processing and microprocessors.
Linear Motor Tracking: Employs a linear motor mechanism for the laser pickup, enabling smooth and fast track selection.
