Commentary

This CD player uses a CD belt drive mechanism to satisfy the requirements of stable disk rotation accuracy and no vibration and resonance.

By adopting the belt drive system, dense signal pickup capability is obtained.

The input part of the DAC circuit has a built-in DDS circuit that enables virtually jitter-free high-speed transmission.
This circuit uses a new memory device that enables high-speed operation of 0.3n seconds for waveform formation of digital signals consisting of short waves. Data jitter caused by transmission assumption of servo circuit is synchronized with the master clock mounted as reference by high-speed 1-bit memory to eliminate jitter.
The use of an ultra-high-speed digital filter also eliminates the ringing that occurs during peak pulses.

The DAC section uses 20-bit 8-times oversampling and is equipped with a newly designed I/U converter amplifier.
In conventional op-amps, a load is applied to the input / output stage depending on the speed of the current output due to delay of feedback and fluctuation of the same level, causing distortion of the signal. However, in I/U converter amps, a stable feedback level without distortion of the signal is obtained by high speed (3 Hz or higher without a filter) that is free from external interference caused by this transmission assumption.
This DAC circuit has a high-density design incorporating SMD technology. All amplifier stages are pure A-class drive, and both input and output stages are fully balanced.

It adopts a center mechanical mounting system in which the mechanism part is placed in the center of the body main body, and it absorbs micro vibration caused by inside and outside by balance effect.
A special anti-vibration material is also applied to the chassis at the bottom of the pickup to improve the signal reading accuracy.

There are 2 color variations, gold and black.

Wireless remote control is included.
