Zum Verkauf angeboten wird ein originales Accuphase DP-80L CD-Laufwerk mit separatem DC-81L D/A-Wandler. Die Kombination arbeitet mit Accuphase-MDS-Wandlertechnik und digitaler Verbindung über Koax.
Leichte altersbedingte Gebrauchsspuren vorhanden, technisch einwandfrei und voll funktionsfähig. Gehäuse im klassischen Champagner-Silber.
Enthalten sind Laufwerk DP-80L, Wandler DC-81L, Cinch-Koax-Verbindungskabel, Netzkabel sowie Bedienungsanleitungen. Fernbedienung liegt bei, ist jedoch defekt. Weitere Kabel oder Zubehörteile sind nicht enthalten.
At €1,850, this sits a bit above the clearest recent asking examples I can find for the same family, with a DC-81L listed around €1,650 and full DP-80L/DC-81L sets appearing around €2,500–€3,700; against that backdrop, the price is fair-to-strong, not a bargain-bin score, but still sensible for an excellent-condition single unit. The original DC-81L launch price was ¥470,000, so this is still a serious vintage digital piece rather than a cheap curiosity.
What makes it worth buying is the usual Accuphase mix of build quality, smooth and authoritative presentation, and the appeal of an early high-end 20-bit DAC that still has a strong following among vintage digital fans. In clean, well-kept condition, it’s especially attractive to someone building a period-correct Accuphase system or wanting a distinctive older DAC with real collector cachet; if the original remote, box, or documentation are included, that meaningfully improves the package.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Accuphase Laboratory, Inc., founded in 1972 in Tokyo by brothers Nakaichi and Jiro Kasuga, emerged from their departure from Trio-Kenwood, the company they had co-established decades earlier. Dissatisfied with mass-production compromises, the Kasugas formed Kensonic Laboratories—later renamed Accuphase Laboratory—and relocated to Yokohama in 1973. The brand name, blending "accurate" and "phase," reflected their commitment to precision audio reproduction amid the 1970s hi-fi boom. Their debut products, the P-300 power amplifier, C-200 preamplifier, and T-100 tuner, immediately earned acclaim, including Japan's Compo Grand Prix for the P-300.
Accuphase specializes in high-end electronics, renowned for integrated and power amplifiers, preamplifiers, tuners, CD players, and digital sources like DACs. While their core strength lies in meticulously engineered amplifiers celebrated for phase accuracy and reliability, the lineup extends to digital components, mains filters, and room correction units. Hand-assembled in Yokohama with top-tier parts and innovative circuits, these products prioritize sound purity over volume, eschewing speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-premium high-end market, Accuphase commands reverence among audiophiles for its timeless build quality, engineering excellence, and enduring performance. Synonymous with Japanese hi-fi mastery, it stands as a reference benchmark, appealing to discerning buyers seeking components that deliver uncompromised musical fidelity and last for generations.
