Bottom Line: This review is for Accuphase DP 55V, which is very much upgraded from DP 55.
I was looking for 'my last CD player'(before SACD or DVD-A) for several month. My budget was limited to $1500. The final shortlist included Arcam FMJ 32 which had several excellent reviews in English magazines and also on this site, and Accuphase DP 55V which is only 20% more expensive than the Arcam in Japan. I made two direct comparisons, in two different shops, with my own CDs. The Accuphase is clearly in a different class. The soundstage was wider, deeper and the dynamics were incomparably better, especially regarding the bass . I listened to some live recordings, and while the Arcam sounded as a decent live recording, the Accupase sounded as if I was sitting in the audience. I know that this machine costs several times more in the US and Europe than over here, but if you have a chance, listen to it before you make a decision.
My system:
Accuphase DP 55V
Denon PMA 2000MkII (to be replaced next)
PMC FB1 speakers
Wireworld Eclipse III interconnect
Acrotec speaker cables
Quadraspire rack, etc.
