Commentary
A CD player developed by taking over the technology and know-how of high-end machines.
The D/A converter uses TDA1541A with high accuracy and high linearity at low level. Excellent resolution is obtained by adopting a 16-bit 4-times oversampling digital filter with excellent phase and frequency characteristics.
A low-noise operational amplifier is used for the filter circuit.
The circuit board, including the D/A converter, employs a computer design and utilizes surface mount technology to eliminate signal degradation.
The mechanism section is equipped with a newly developed CDM-4M. The entire mechanism is floating from the chassis and isolated from vibration. The laser pickup uses a special resin mixed with glass fiber to enable accurate tracking without being affected by vibration.
The main chassis has a honeycomb structure with excellent impact resistance, and the newly developed triangle construction that supports all the contact points with 3 points ensures rigidity.
In addition, metal is used for the top plate and bottom, die-cast is used for the side panel to form a strong structure, and copper plating is applied to the screws.
Equipped with FTS that can store up to 126 programs (5 songs per disc) even when the power is turned off.
It is equipped with an edit mode that allows you to play programs of 20 songs and edit them according to the length of the tape, and AMS (Automatic Music Scan) that plays songs sequentially.
In addition to fixed and variable analog outputs, it is equipped with optical and coaxial digital outputs.
Comes with a 33-key wireless remote control.
