Key Features:

• Exceptional Build Quality:

  • 10 mm brushed aluminium front panel available in aluminium or black finish.

  • Top-loading CD drive designed with precision-engineered steel and aluminium components, treated against vibrations and decoupled from the frame with metal spacers.

• Optimised Playback:

  • Pure audio CD player compatible with CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, and WMA-AAC formats.

  • 2x PCM1794 converters (one per channel) for superior sound accuracy and dynamics.

  • Symmetrical audio stages with discrete components and MKP audiophile capacitors, ensuring pure and natural sound reproduction.

• Power Supply Excellence:

  • A 160 VA toroidal transformer dedicated to audio stages for stable and clean power delivery.

  • Separate 30 VA linear transformer for digital stages to minimise interference.

• User-Friendly Design:

  • Low-consumption OLED display with CD-Text support for track and album details.
