From a technical standpoint I don't see any reason that it would be a problem, given that the current draw of the Accuphase cd players (and most others) is small. This one, for example, is rated at 18 watts. The voltage converter might even improve the sound, because its limited bandwidth will result in some degree of noise filtering.
I would be concerned about using a voltage converter mainly on components such as power amplifiers, where the current draw is large and may fluctuate widely and rapidly.
Do choose a converter that is rated to handle at least several times the rated power requirement of the player, because brief surges that occur at turn-on ("inrush current") might be much larger than the unit's nominal current draw.
Here are some inexpensive converters. I would go with the 500 watt model, given the small difference in price and identical size compared to the 300. I have used one of their larger models with good results, although I can't say anything conclusive about its sonic effects because I was not using it in my main system.
