Price Paid:  $6000.00 from HK

Summary:
Unbelievable build quality, silent opening and closing of CD-tray mechanism, heavy as a tank and beautiful to look at as it's in champagne gold, they don't make it like this anymore for other makes, well Marantz used to do, but not anymore.
The sound is to die for, easily the finest and best one box CDP Accuphase has made, and on par with other top notch CDP in the world, even six years out. I'd love to see a head to head match between this CDP and the feted others like Wadia 861, Reimyo, Esoteric X-01, X-03. Love it.

Strengths:
Big relaxed sound.
Bass,bass,bass to die for.
Detail is there in spades.
Soundstaging which is layered.
Love it for acoustics, jazz, male and female vocals.

Weaknesses:
I miss the warmth of my old Capitole

Summary:
This is the finest one box player I have ever heard in my system.

Strengths:
Very big sound, without being lush. It is sexy, forward and right-up-front. Great if you listen to a lot of live recordings and jazz. I am sure the DP-75V delivers for other music types as well.

Weaknesses:
can't find one. the voicing in the unit are less foucsed than my other player combo which is based upon the Elgar Plus-Purcell
