Pure CD players are, in contrast to DVD or Blu-ray Disc players, frequently better in playback of stereo CDs. The CD Box DS (as well as CD Box S) is designed exclusively for playing audio CDs on the "Red Book standard" by Philips and is in this discipline, a true master of his trade. In addition, a high-quality, durable drive is essential for the perfect CD playback as well as a servo control optimized for audio playback. This servo system allows real-time scanning with minimal jitter. Together with advanced D/A converter blocks a real highend reproduction is achieved, as it can not be found in this price range. Visually the CD Box DS is adapted to the new DS line with a thicker front panel, no screws in the front and a smaller uniform LED. 24bit/192kHz Burr Brown DAC (PCM1796)• 4-layer suspended CD drive• Excellent only-CD transport• "Blue tiger" servo board for 1:1 CD playback• Luxurious slot-in mechanism• NEW!
