CD transport using belt drive system.

A belt drive system is adopted, and the spindle motor part that gives rotation to the disk is completely separated from the mechanical part chassis, and vibration and electromagnetic noise generated from the motor itself are cut off.
In addition, the pick-up section is placed in the center of the housing and a special anti-vibration material is attached to the lower chassis to reduce small vibrations from inside and outside.

A 300g stabilizer is used to press the disc firmly on the rotating shaft and minimize warping and vibration of the disc during performance.
In addition, by connecting the belt to the low-torque spindle motor, the moment of inertia of the stabilizer is utilized. By utilizing the flywheel effect, the rotational angular velocity is stabilized without being affected by motor current fluctuations and servo errors.

In addition to digital outputs Route 3 such as coaxial, optical, and AES/EBU, it is equipped with CEC Superlink which enables jitter-free digital transmission by unique signal synchronization technology.

Unlike the general SPDIF scheme, CEC Superlink uses a parallel data transfer scheme, which allows audio and clock signals to be transmitted completely independently.
In addition, in order to transfer sound quality without deteriorating as much as possible, the master clock is generated very close to the DAC stage and takes over control of the CD transport, so that the input audio signal is synchronized with the master clock just before it arrives at the DAC stage.
