CD-1.1x

The CD 1.1x uses the Philips L1210 mechanism and a simple yet revealing DAC made with the 1543 16 bit multi-bit digital to analogue converter chip. This player, like its bigger brothers, features no oversampling, no digital or analogue filtering. This makes for a highly effective sonic combination all housed in a new, smaller chassis which measures just 91 x 440 x 235 mm (HWD)

The player uses a single 6111WA miniature double triode, each half of the valve running a different channel. Standard parts as dictated by it Level One status; Beyschlag resistors, standard electrolytic capacitors, tin foil output capacitors.

CD-2.1x/II

The CD 2.1x/II is-essentially a component upgraded version of the CD1.1x. Better parts, such as high grade Audio Note tantalum resistors, a few scattered Black Gate capacitors and Audio Note copper foil output capacitors make for a more open, detailed and lively performance than the CD-1.1x. The CD 2.1x Mk.II uses the Philips L1210 mechanism and a simple yet revealing DAC made with the 1543 16 bit multi-bit digital to analogue converter chip.

CD-4.1x

This is a completely new player, taking the one box CD player places it has never gone before. It consists of a CDT Two/II paired with a slightly upgraded DAC2.1x Audo Note tantalum resistors and Black Gate caps on the digital PCB and Audio Note copper foil capacitors on the output, housed in an OTO-sized chassis. Special attention has been placed on the power supplies in this unit - even the display has its own supply to reduce internal noise way beyond what standards call for. Combined with its clock-locked direct coupling between the transport and DAC makes this player a musical feast with a rich and deeply textured programme.

In our demos we have found members of the public not talking but listening and listening for hours - one fellow stayed for two days! The player seems to disarm the audience and delivers finally what CD promised.
