Commentary
CD transport using Philips' mechanism.
The mechanism section uses Philips' CDM1mk2 mechanism.
In addition, an anti-vibration mechanism is provided at important points to eliminate the effect of vibration.
The error collection system is Philips 64K Adaptive Error Collection System.
The master oscillator is completely independent of the other circuits to minimize jitter.
A dedicated power transformer and power supply circuit are provided for the master oscillator, and connections with other circuits are made through an opto-isolator.
You can dim or turn off the display with a switch on the front panel, which reduces digital noise from the display.
It is equipped with two digital outputs, optical and coaxial.
The coaxial output uses balanced drive technology to minimize ground noise and provide clearer sound.
The replacement master clock was an option sold separately.
By switching to this board, it is possible to upgrade to DELTA170mk2.
