I cannot stand their design. It isn't "retro" nor is it "classic." It bring out what we so happily got rid of in 1974. Now, I know the SQ is nice, especially on their pre and amps. But still - the looks are right up there with what happened to BMW post-Bangle. If I ever plunged into Accuphase, I'd have to put wallpaper of flowers in my whole room, get green shag carpet, and grow an afro while wearing 4" disco boots. That and that reason alone make them a non-starter.

No shuffle play function in their DP900 transport. Maybe trivial, but I used it a lot when available.

That I don't have the $$$$ to buy them for a 2nd system is my only complaint. I think there are a very good product

1. IR only controls, which indeed don't control many functions. That's what I call 1970s style, not looks. All my stuff controlled with some home automation system (different brands in different places -- Crestron, AMX, C4), integration of Accuphase is a PITA. They don't even have remote power switch, so I was forced to add outboard ethernet-controlled power strips just to switch components on and off.
2. SACD can't play multichannel disks. The most stupid thing they could do. If they wanted to stay in two channel world -- fine -- they could just reproduce two front channels, or do some downmixing. But they just ignore multichannel layer, and if there are no two channel layer, they just play CD. Shame. For this reason I sold my Accuphase player and replaced it with a modified Oppo. Didn't lose anything in SQ, but gained remote control and multichannel (downmixed to two channel) ability. 3. Pricing in the US is ridiculous. I buy my stuff in Japan. US dealers ignore me, I ignore them. 4. HS-link. Who needs this copy protection? Who cares? |
