Significant Design Features:
· Fully balanced differential digital and analog circuitry
· Internal upsampling with 24-bit/352.8kHz processing
· Top panel controls and display for improved ergonomics and unique styling
· Separate digital and analog power supplies housed in an external chassis connecting to the main
unit via a specially shielded DB15 cable
· Eight stages of DC voltage regulation
· A Custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and thermal loss,
yielding an improved power transfer and lower regulation factor, resulting in increased current
speed and better dynamics
· BurrBrown DF1704 Digital Filter with 8X oversampling
· Four precision matched 24-bit BurrBrown PCM1704U-K "Digital To Analog" converters
· Top loading CD drawer mechanism for improved stability and long term reliability
· Philips CD-Pro 2 transport mechanism mounted with a double action suspension using traction
and damping devices
· Very precise 5PPM digital clocking mechanism
· Custom designed disc clamping system
· A capacitor-free signal path using a DC servo circuit and proprietary 6db/octave analog filter
· Pure copper circuit board tracings with extremely low impedance characteristics
· Digital and analog audio circuitry mounted on one circuit board, each with their own respective
ground planes, to minimize signal path lengths and eliminate any potential for interference and
signal degradation
· Extremely rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations
· Accurate matching of the very finest high quality electronic components
· A symmetrical circuit design
· Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance
· Low operating temperature to ensure a longer than normal life expectancy.
