This is a non-conventional CD transport that uses a computer CD-ROM as the basic drive unit. Using a CD-ROM provides very low jitter due to its internal cache and high speed processing capability. It can also be upgraded or serviced very easily by just removing the CD-ROM and replacing it with a new one. The sound quality of this CD transport is very transparent and airy with a very well defined image and sound stage. It can reproduce every trace of music harmonics without difficulty. The power supply section uses a very high grade linear regulator rather than a switching mode regulator to achieve the highest sound quality. The D/A section is the one included with the CD-ROM, and is not recommended as a high-grade output but for monitoring purposes. This unit is best used as a transport.
All units are installed with our newly modified coaxial digital output circuit board that gives out excellent bass control and punch as well as silky and transparent mids and highs.
The power supply of this model is an enhanced and up-graded version of CD-001
