Accuphase transport
How reliable is the Accuphase CD/SACD player and transport? Any issue or drive failure?
They look very well built. I don't see much complaints on the web, which is a good sign. |
Tommy… as a long time dealer; I have never experienced, nor even heard of a transport issue.

My DP-900, acquired in June 2014, had to undergo repairs in April 2021.
From some time, the unit could not read SACD (diodes replaced). AFAIK this problem had shown up earlier in a few other units of this type. Unfortunately the warranty period had already expired. In addition, the unit could not keep track on a commercial CD with a considerable number of C2 errors (29) and jitter, though within redbook specs (system controller assembly replaced). The repairs had me wait for 4 weeks and did cost me $1815. Nobody is perfect, not even Accuphase. Martin |
Thank for the info Ivan and Martin.
I suppose 7 years for a spinning drive is reasonable? |
Slightly off topic, but the Jay’s Audio transport has a user replaceable laser. Won’t fix everything, but nice that they thought about that. I suspect though that Accuphase and Esoteric are solid on CDs - still quite the format in Japan as far as I understand it.

Diodes may occasionally fail. But having to replace the system controller assembly (the electronics, which control the servo of the drive) is something else. Martin |
Strange.
Expensive Accuphase collapsing so fast. I've several CD-players here, among others a Philips 373 from 1988 and a Naim from the nineties and still going strong without any problem. |
