As far as i can see, the only differences between the DP85 and 77 is the teflon coating and the DAC (the 77 has the 'plus' designation, whatever that means, and just the 4 in parralel, while the 85 has 6).
I am really curious as what the differences are, because as Jayme says, $8K in MSRP has to come from somewhere, and at the moment i just cant see it in the documentation ive read. As an owner of a DP85, i sure hope there is some tangible (on the ear at least) difference or ill be pretty ***** off (the DP85 has only be out for a year !!!).
Cheers
PS :
I believe Accuphase are actually using a proprietary transport in both the 85 and 77, but i could be wrong.
