My experience had been when playing with power cords, always thought that the norm feeding the better one to D/A would make for larger difference.
When it worked out other way around, I was curious and looked up the pics of their (900/901) innards from Accuphase PDF brochure. Sure enough, the DP900 has actually got more power supply modules in them--not that this means anything. But say, if the upgraded cord to the D/A upped the sound by 30-40%, into the Transport it was more like 50-60% improvement (in my case). Going by this, I learned DP is an integral part of the combo. If I were in the position to split them, I'd rather just get DP-720 and spend the excess on cabling and music.. Unless of course an eventual upgrade of 700 to 900 is also in your agenda. My 2c
