Commentary
A CD player equipped with current injection circuit and LEF circuit.
In place of the conventional operational amplifier, it is equipped with CEC's own current injection circuit and LEF (load effect free) circuit. This completely eliminates the NFB loop and enables signal processing in one stage. In addition, high-speed and low-distortion transmission is achieved by fully balanced signal processing.
The circuit is composed of pure class A operation.
In the power supply section, contamination is removed through an AC line filter, and the high-voltage power supply is purified by a primary high-frequency switching regulator.
In addition, a PWM (pulse width modulation) switching regulator and a high-frequency isolation transformer for the secondary side low voltage are arranged independently for the servo system and the audio signal system respectively to eliminate mutual interference. In addition, both primary and secondary switching regulator outputs are passed through multi-stage line filters to stabilize and clean the power supply.
(It is recommended that the ground terminal of the AC cable be connected to ground in order to enhance the performance of the line filter.)
The D/A converter uses two PCMs 1796 for 24bit/192kHz.
The PCM1796 adopts the advanced segment system which was developed in Shinkai by fusing the multi-bit system and the delta-sigma system to obtain excellent dynamic characteristics.
As an optional function of the DAC circuit, it is equipped with a filter selection function that can be controlled by a remote controller. This function allows you to switch between "FLAT", which enables more linear playback, and "SOFT", which naturally attenuates at 20 kHz.
In addition, it is equipped with a Dither switch to reduce distortion of ultra-fine level signals, and a ⊿ Σ -FS function to switch over the oversampling rate in three stages.
The digital outputs are equipped with an optical, coaxial and XLR Route 3.
There are two types of analog outputs, balanced and unbalanced.
