Commentary
Pure Malt series CD player.
Whiskey barrels are used for side woods, front trays and side sashes, and insulators.
This barrel has been used at a Suntory distillery for about 50 years. It is a matured tree that has been improved through the exchange of benefits and alcohol. In addition, the barrel is made of top-quality oak that is carefully selected over 100 years old.
This barrel material is machined and made into a beautiful form by hand one by one by excellent craftsmen of Oak Village.
You can see whiskey stains and nail marks on the side wood, so you can enjoy the unique design with barrel materials.
Green paint is applied to the top plate as a non-PVC sheet finish.
The digital circuit is equipped with Hi-bit Legato link conversion.
The digital circuit is equipped with a newly developed high-resolution D/A converter, DAC24.
Based on the Z-concept, we are pursuing faithful original sound reproduction by suppressing fluctuations in the time axis direction of the signal.
Unique vibration-free design such as turntable mechanism and acoustic damper tray mechanism.
The display uses an amber color based on the image of the amber color of whiskey.
Wireless remote control is included.
