SONY SCD-XB9

Commentary

SACD player developed to enjoy SACD more easily.

The optical system base unit is equipped with a newly developed dynamic focus pickup and new tilt mechanism to improve reliability.
High-speed access has also been achieved by improving the ability of the DSP that controls the servo and by adopting a stepping motor.

It is equipped with newly developed VC24plus IC.
This IC combines an ACP system, which eliminates the effect of switching distortion that occurs with pulse signals, and a pulse generator, which generates clean pulses. In addition, the transmission speed between the two circuits has been increased to 128 fs, which is twice the conventional speed, and the accuracy has been further improved.
The VC24plus also functions as a 24-bit variable digital filter for CD playback, enabling five levels of sound quality in the digital domain.

We have adopted the same DSD decoder LSI as the high-grade equipment.

The D/A converter is equipped with a current pulse D/A converter.

The power supply section is equipped with twin power transformers for audio systems and digital and control systems.

It uses a slant mount substrate and suppresses standing waves generated on parallel surfaces of the substrate and top plate.

An eccentric insulator is used for the leg part to attenuate vibration invasion from the outside.

CD-TEXT is supported and alphanumeric characters can be displayed on the body's display.

Wireless remote control is included.
