CEC TL51

Commentary

Belt-drive CD transport with a rich digital interface.

Equipped with 4 digital output terminals.
In addition to the AES/EBU standard XLR, coaxial RCA, and TOS link interfaces, it is equipped with CEC Superlink, a unique signal synchronization technology that enables jitter-free high-definition digital transmission.

The CEC Super Link is a unique transmission method that does not use the SPDIF code, which converts all audio signals into one continuous signal.
The SPDIF uses double-phase modulation for clock encoding, which makes it impossible to separate audio signals without jitter. The CEC Superlink uses a parallel data transfer scheme, which allows each audio data stream or clock signal to be transmitted completely independently without encoding / decoding.
In the Super Link operation mode, a method called Synchronized Clock Link is adopted. The master clock is generated at a position very close to the DAC stage and takes over control of the CD transport. This synchronizes the input digital audio signal with the master clock just before it arrives at the DAC stage, thus minimizing degradation of sound quality.

The mechanism uses a belt drive system.
In this system, the disk is clamped by a stabilizer and the spindle motor, which transmits rotation to the disk, is completely separated from the mechanical chassis by a belt drive, thereby absorbing and shielding vibration and electromagnetic noise generated by the motor itself.

A center mount system is adopted, and the mechanism part is located in the center of the case, which absorbs and blocks sound pressure from the speaker and micro vibration from inside and outside.
In addition, a special anti-vibration material is attached to the lower chassis of the pickup section to cut vibration.

Wireless remote control is included.
