When we started designing our own CD player, we wanted something which would be a pleasure to use, which would offer exceptional sound quality, and would avoid the usual harsh digital sound of many CD players available today.
The CD M-10 uses a high quality front loading Sony mechanism, a Burr Brown PCM1792 DAC, a 192 kHz 24 bit oversampling DAC with 8 X oversampling digital filter and a hybrid analogue output stage using a 5AR4 valve and a pair of 6SN7 valves.
The back panel holds both coaxial and optical digital outputs, whilst both single ended RCA analogue and XLR balanced outputs are supported on very high quality connectors, whilst an IEC power inlet is located on the far right of the back panel to allow the use of any aftermarket power cable.
The player uses a very high quality, aluminium chassis, which is heavily damped to prevent vibrations breaking through to the transport or analogue audio circuit to prevent microphony. Very high quality passive components are used including Mundorf Silver Gold capacitors, ultra high precision clocks, whilst WBT connectors are used on the back panel.
This player offers truly extraordinary sound quality and build quality for the price.
