Ok, but the Accuphase does have a "HS Link" input for DSD (SACD), which clearly works with their own (and potentially others) transport(s).

probably some proprietary type firewire ?
Yamaha high end receivers have this.

but even still....moot.
can't get your DSD masters played.  You need the Tascam rack mount SACD recorder w/the hard drive upgrade to have a juke box.
or..., probably cheaper to just get an MR1000 and have it MOD'd for high-end playback via its RCA output.

Does Accuphase make anything that isn't absolutely gorgeous?

my friend's father has a system of accuphase tuner and accuphase cd player, with krell preamp and krell class A power amps, powering a set of wilson watt puppies

the accuphase stuff is probably 20 years old, but damn it still sounds sick

but they have a mcintosh amp and preamp just sitting in storage above the garage.  that's just not right

Tell him he can use it anytime he comes over to your house!
