Purchasing from Japan

Hi Oranfoster,

How do you like your dac in your Accuphase?
I'm concidering the same purchase but am doubting about the voltage issue. You wrote that you checked it out and it's not an issue. Is it possible to explain what you know about that?

recently bought a used e600. Very, very happy with it👍

Greetings!

Hi Muziekliefhebber,
    Congratulations on your E-600! These Accuphase components are just amazing. From the iconic look, its top-notch fit and finish, and the sublime sound, Accuphase kit is just spectacular. I bought the Accuphase DAC module from a Japanese seller on Ebay, from iseshima_japan. It arrived extremely fast and well packaged. Huge savings from a US dealer. 
    Installation was easy. That great display on the front panel will indicate the digital sample rate. The sound is extremely detailed but retains the Accuphase house sound... liquid smooth. The advantage of the on-board DAC is the synergy, less interconnects, and it taps into the extremely high quality on-board power supply. 

    

Hi Oranfoster,

Thanks for your reply. Indeed, it's a very nice sounding and looking piece of equipment.

However, i'm wondering if the dac from Japan will work propperly in an European Accuphase. In Europe we have the 220 Volt elektricity, which is different from the voltage in Japan. You wrote that that isn't a problem, but i'm wondeing how you found out.

Can you tell something about how you are so sure?

Thanks for your reply!

Sorry, guess I never answered your question. I DID ask that question and was told that the module works with units configured for any voltage. And there was absolutely no indication on the manual or box indicating for a specific voltage. I bought one intended for the Japanese market and it works as intended for my North American unit.
 

Thanks Oranfoster!
A friend lives in Tokyo and will visit the Netherlands soon. I'm going to ask him to bring the dac with him, and save me quite a lot of bugs... He was looking for a birthdaypressent annyway.....

Needless to say, but even without the dac the e-600 is an absolutely brilljant piece. Very, very impressed listining this morning too the fablous Monty Alexander trio live in Montreux. Fantastic music and totaly impressive sound. 

Keep the music playing!
