PRODUCT FEATURES
This is the first Super Audio CD Player to be released on the market after
some thoroughgoing preparations made by Phillips and Marantz who
are the developers of Super Audio CDs. It is a showpiece model which
is designed to achieve a sophisticated reproduction of the sound
performance inherent to Super Audio CDs. The main features of this unit
include:
- A D/A converter which directly converts the DSD signals into analog
signals with a high sound quality by means of DAC7 (TDA 1547 x 4)
- A DF7 digital filter (TDA 1307) with 8X oversampling (during CD
playback)
- A low noise distortion circuitry featuring a differential configuration
HDAM
- Audio circuitry kept free from noise by using a super ring toroidal
transformer, featuring a large capacity and low leakage flux and
shielded by a copper-plated cover, for the main power transformer
and by employing a separate transformer for the exclusive use of the
display tube
- A high-rigidity, high-precision zinc diecast mechanism chassis and
aluminum diecast disc tray firmly anchored by a double-bottom
chassis constructed with two layers of 3.2 mm thick copper-plated
steel plates
- An elegant design with a luxury look achieved by the extravagant use
of aluminum block and thick aluminum sheet materials
- A stylish remote control unit made of aluminum top plate
