■Features

Integrated Amplifier A-2 ver. 2

· The output stage is a parallel push-pull design using the same high-speed, high-output TO3P transistors used in the A-3.
· The output stage transistors are precisely paired with hfe, eliminating the sound bleeding drawback of parallel push-pull designs.
· The driver stage also uses the same TO3P transistors as the output stage. By supplying a large current to the driver, hfe fluctuations caused by current changes in the output stage are instantly compensated for, generating powerful driving force. This is the biggest difference and breakthrough from the original.
· The voltage amplification stage circuit was also newly developed for the A-2 ver. 2. It has been significantly simplified from the original, and the bias circuit has also been completely redesigned.
· Uses a large, non-impregnated toroidal power transformer.
By lowering the output voltage compared to the original, instantaneous current supply capacity at low impedance is prioritized over maximum output at 8Ω. This significantly improves the perceived power and grip.
· The same relay-based resistor-switched volume circuit as the original is still used.
· The clearance of the free-standing top cover has been increased to improve the sense of openness.
Other chassis construction techniques are incorporated based on the 3 Series.
(Same for the E-2 ver. 2 and D-2 ver. 2.)

D/A Converter D-2 ver. 2

· The analog circuit features a fully balanced, non-feedback, new Type-R circuit developed for the E-3, optimized for DAC use. It achieves clarity and dynamics approaching those of the 3 Series.
· The external clock terminal uses a new, reinforced SMA terminal with excellent high-frequency characteristics. The conversion plug previously required to connect the X-3 clock generator is no longer necessary. Using the X-3 dramatically improves the overall sound quality.
· All of the know-how from the 3 Series has been applied to the digital circuitry, power supply circuitry, and chassis. The sense of openness and richness of expression have been significantly improved.

E-2 Ver. 2 Phono Equalizer
· The optical cartridge terminal uses the same XLR terminal for a separate power cable as the E-3. This maximizes the benefits of optical cartridges.
· The analog circuit for optical cartridges uses the same fully balanced, non-feedback New Type-R circuit as the E-3.
· The MC/MM circuit has also been simplified, with a completely new bias circuit, significantly improving quality.
· The fixed top cover has also been improved, as with the A-2 Ver. 2.
· Supports MC loads up to 1KΩ.
· Retains all the original’s diverse features, including the variable EQ curve.

• The New Type-R circuit is our collective term for fully balanced, non-feedback circuits composed of ground-to-ground amplification and ground-to-ground emitter follower.

More than Beryllium

Due to its incredible rigidity, Beryllium represents the ultimate material for a tweeter dome. Where soft domes turn choirs into grain, hard rock into noise, Beryllium can separate the complex harmonics with ease and keep the music clean and precise, also at high listening levels. But we do not stop there. Opting for an unconventional approach, we mount the dome flush with the baffle, as opposed to the typical recessed placement, allowing the dome to unleash its wide off-axis response without obstruction—vital for achieving an expansive, open sound. This unique dome placement is a rarity, demanding meticulous baffle rounding to prevent diffraction and a more intricate crossover design. However, the resulting benefits outweigh the challenges. Complementing this design, we employ an exceptionally narrow surround to eliminate any lingering “soft dome” coloration. With a mere 0.1-gram moving mass and a magnetic flux density of 2.0 Tesla, our high frequencies reach reference-level quality.

A Cellulose Glass Composite

By combining cellulose with fine glass fibers, this cone material unites the best of two worlds. Cellulose brings damping qualities and warm, natural tone, while glass fibers add stiffness and control, reducing unwanted resonances. The coating process further stabilizes the cone and ensures consistent performance across the audible spectrum. Where traditional paper membranes can introduce colorations at higher levels, the Cellulose glass composite maintains neutrality and detail, even under demanding dynamics. Supporting this, a Balanced Drive motor structure minimizes distortion by keeping the voice coil motion symmetrical, ensuring clarity and precision throughout the range. This careful balance allows the woofer to deliver a smooth, natural midrange together with an articulate and well-controlled bass. The result is a driver that is both musical and precise—an ideal foundation for the Reference Three, offering an engaging, open sound with a remarkable sense of ease

The DP-570S combines traditional Accuphase craftsmanship with cutting-edge circuitry and mechanical technology, refining sound with a rich sensitivity and attention to detail, enabling high-quality playback of all digital sources, including SA-CD/CD and high-resolution audio. The transport section features a highly rigid, high-precision SA-CD/CD drive with a quiet and elegant loading mechanism, while also employing a heavyweight structure that minimizes vibration and resonance. The disc loading mechanism uses an elastic damper, developed through research into materials and shapes, to support the traverse mechanism, suppressing resonance in the objective lens actuator that reads the disc, improving reading accuracy. This accurately read music data is then sent to the digital processor section, which uses four high-performance ESS ES9028PRO DACs driven in parallel and the company’s proprietary MDS+ playback method to reduce conversion errors. In addition, by combining our unique “ANCC” technology, various characteristics have been significantly improved, including even lower distortion and noise, allowing the infinite possibilities and charm of SA-CD to be fully realized.Four digital input terminals are provided: HS-LINK (compatible with Ver.2), coaxial, optical, and USB (compatible with PCM: 384kHz/32bit, DSD: up to 11.2MHz).

DP-570Sは、アキュフェーズ伝統の技に、回路･機構面とも先進のテクノロジーを結集、音に対するこだわりと豊かな感性によって音を練り上げ、SA-CD/CDやハイレゾ音源など、あらゆるディジタル・ソースの音楽情報を高品位に再生できます。 トランスポート部は、静寂で気品漂うローディング・メカニズムを搭載した高剛性・高精度の『SA-CD/CDドライブ』を搭載すると同時に、振動や共振を限りなく排除した重量級構造を採用しました。素材や形状の研究によって誕生した『弾性ダンパー』を使い、ディスク・ローディング・メカニズムがトラバース・メカニズムを支えることで、ディスクを読み取る対物レンズ・アクチュエーターの共振が抑えられ、読み取り精度を向上させます。この正確に読み取られた音楽データは、ディジタル・プロセッサー部へと送られます。 ディジタル・プロセッサー部は、高性能ESS社製DAC：ES9028PROを4回路並列駆動、独自の『MDS+再生方式』を搭載して変換誤差を低減します。また、独自の『ANCC』を組み合わせることにより、一層の低歪率化と低雑音化を図るなど諸特性を大幅に改善、無限の可能性を秘めたSA-CDのポテンシャルと魅力を100％描き出します。ディジタル入力端子は、HS-LINK(Ver.2対応)、同軸、光、USB(PCM：384kHz/32bit、DSD：11.2MHzまで対応)の4系統を装備しています。

2,420,000 YEN

Inheriting all of the know-how from the C-3900, released as a 50th anniversary model in 2020, the new C-3900 features improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and distortion. The C-3900 features a new Dual Balanced AAVA architecture (equipped with eight AAVA amplifiers, each with a positive and negative left and right channel) that operates all amplifier circuits in parallel from input to output, further reducing noise and improving sound quality. The latest C-3900S achieves even lower noise by increasing the number of parallel output amplifiers, improving SNR at normal volume settings. The entire signal path, from input to output, is balanced. The ANCC IV conversion amplifiers, which combine high precision and low noise, are used, and all circuits have been completely redesigned to achieve a high level of sophistication. This dramatically improves signal-to-noise ratio, distortion, and other characteristics, enabling even purer signal transmission.

2020年に創立50周年記念モデルとして発表したC-3900のノウハウ全てを受け継ぎ、SN比やひずみ率などの諸特性を改善。C-3900では新たに『Dual Balanced AAVA』（Lch/Rch正負合計8回路のAAVAを搭載）へと昇華させ、入力から出力まで全ての増幅回路を並列動作させることにより、更なる低雑音化と音質の向上を実現しました。最新のC-3900Sは、更なる低雑音化を実現するため、出力アンプのパラレル数を増やすことにより、通常使用ボリューム時でのSNを改善しています。入力端子から出力端子まで全信号系がバランス構成、高精度と低雑音を両立した『ANCC』採用のIV変換アンプなど、全回路の完成度を高めて一新、SN比やひずみ率などの諸特性を大幅に向上させ、より高純度の信号伝送が可能です。

The T10 Time Reference

At CH Precision, every component is designed to stand alone as a class-leading achievement—musically, technically, and architecturally. But we also believe that an investment in CH should never be a dead end. Each product is built to be modular, upgradable, and expandable, allowing listeners to embark on a journey where each step builds upon the last.

The C10 Master DAC already establishes a formidable standard for time-domain performance. Pair it with the C10 Conductor, and timing precision reaches new levels of stability and control. But for those who demand absolute clarity and cohesion, the upgrade path continues with the T10 Time Reference.

In digital audio, timing isn’t just a technical detail—it’s the foundation of musical truth. Independent clock domains between transport and DAC can introduce discrepancies that blur resolution and compromise coherence. The T10 addresses this directly, providing a 10 MHz master clock of astonishing purity, engineered with ultra-low phase noise and vanishing jitter.

Highlights of the T10 include:

An oven-controlled oscillator (OCXO), thermally stabilized within a solid billet aluminum block

Unified, ultra-stable timing reference for every connected component

Designed to be most impactful in systems with a transport, such as the D1.5 or D10

Fully compatible with any DAC that accepts a 10 MHz clock input

With the T10 in place, your system behaves as a singular, coherent whole—unlocking not just better clocking, but the true integrity of the performance itself.

A Note on Setup:

The Sentinel System is extremely high-powered compared to other DACs. These units must be placed in a well-ventilated space and out of direct sunlight. In hotter climates, air conditioning will help extend the life of electrical components. For best results, do not stack this system. Instead, place each unit on an individual shelf or surface with plenty of clearance to the sides and above each chassis to allow airflow.

Heralding a seismic shift for our industry, the Sentinel DAC breaks from the traditional to bring you an altogether-new listening experience. Crafted without limitations, this monumental masterwork was made for those whose passion for music exceeds all else. For those rarefied few, we are thrilled to offer a revelation that defies possibility.

It takes more than commitment to create a masterpiece. It requires a rare, but perfect harmony between experience, passion, and ambition to achieve the impossible—it’s rarer still for three designers to simultaneously share this vision. We’re always striving to create something remarkable, but the results exceeded even our greatest expectations. Of course, it’s only with the longstanding support from our patrons that we’re able to make the impossible possible. Your passion for music and craftsmanship encourages us every step of the way. It’s with a deep sense of gratitude and pride that we sign our names onto every Sentinel DAC we craft. For allowing us to pursue a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity like this, we thank you.

More than three decades of experience crafting expert designs has carefully guided us toward this moment. To equip ourselves for such an ambitious project, we never compromised on quality or performance—instead, we embraced new technology and faced our challenges head-on. Despite the long developmental process, we knew commitment and resilience would lead us to truly innovative advances that will forever change our industry. In fact, this was such a lengthy undertaking, we also produced both Digital Director projects and the Cascade DAC while creating the Sentinel. The research and development from a constraint-free project like this has already led to many breakthroughs and will continue trickling down to benefit all of our designs in the coming years.

Guided by the simple phrase “performance above all,” we arrived at a three-chassis system that elevates the electrical synergies, allowing it to achieve its peak potential. But prioritizing performance doesn’t obstruct sleek design—with the Sentinel, they go hand-in-hand. By creating hidden and complex 3D layouts, we reduced system bloat while improving the electronic interactions. The smooth, matte exterior is as beguiling as it is elegant, concealing the complexity that lies just beneath the surface. The resulting masterpiece is only possible with a close partnership between mechanical, electrical, and software designers—a perfect harmony of engineering.

THE SENTINEL DIGITAL DIRECTOR

The Digital Director handles all the digital processes. It features a large, readable display and intuitive user controls for a clean interface that feels both natural and accessible. Acting as an intermediary between sources and the analog domain, it outputs a conversion-ready signal over the left and right fully-isolated fiber optic Sentinel-Links to the Analog Converter’s Mono DACs.

THE SENTINEL ANALOG CONVERTER

With 32 Hybrid DAC MKII modules, the Sentinel Clock, and an analog preamp, the Analog Converter’s Dual Mono DAC design makes the music come alive. Freed from the burden of any brute-force digital processing, the Analog Converter is supremely adapted for the specific task of meticulous analog conversion.

THE SENTINEL POWER SUPPLY

A completely new design, the Sentinel Power Supply features three independent power supplies. Two modules provide clean and independent power for both the left and right Mono DACs in the Analog converter. The third supply is an ultra-low noise design specifically for the Sentinel Clock’s industry-leading performance.

The Sentinel Clock

Perhaps the epitome of the Sentinel project, this clock design highlights the extremes. Completely custom and discretely built, no other company in our industry has the ambition or know-how to create a device of this complexity or sophistication. Designed in partnership with the crystal wafer manufacturer directly, each ovenized crystal produces never-before-achieved performance in audio. The mechanical oscillation of the crystal is so sensitive, we had to create a tuned, isolated energy dispersion platform for each unit. Shown to scale, we have included a leading competitor’s off-the-shelf solution.

32 Hybrid DAC MKII’s

At the heart of every MSB system is our in-house designed and manufactured DAC modules. Increasing the number of modules has always shown improvements to performance, but with many thousands of aerospace high-precision resistors, this comes at a high cost. For the Sentinel project, we quadrupled our previous designs from 8 to 32 modules, which led to increased signal accuracy as well as a flood of technological breakthroughs. Taking advantage of so many parallel DAC channels, Dustin Symanski invented and implemented the best possible version of Bit Diffusion Technology. This tech has breathed new life into the conversion process, unlocking extraordinary possibilities for the future

Elevated Precision

With our most ambitious industrial design yet, the Sentinel System features precision-machined billet components accented by new, micro level details. Leveraging brand-new CAM software purchased specifically for this project, our 5-axis machining has resulted in new levels of fit and finish. The Sentinel name badge is machined out of stainless steel with a 0.02” (1/2mm) endmill. The tool flutes are so micro, you cannot see their details without a microscope. Nothing excites us more as engineers than being able to develop in a massive design sandbox without limits. It’s thoughtful details like these that we hope will delight patrons for years to come.
