Accuphase markup in the US is outrageous. I would not hesitate to buy direct from Japan. Check out the Accuphase prices in Japan on the PriceJapan.com website! DAC-40 is $853.
Purchasing from Japan
Greetings all,
Has anyone purchased an item from Japan? I'm interested in buying the DAC module for an Accuphase integrated and an eBay seller from Japan has a new one for just over half of the US retail. Voltage is not an issue in this case, I have confirmed that. The seller has hundreds of sales with perfect feedback and has quickly answered two questions that I asked. So I feel good about that. Shipping of this small package would be by DHL. VAT and import duties not included but shipping is free. Does anyone know what I can expect for a purchase price of about $1,100?
