CEC CD5 Belt Drive CD Player
CEC CD5 32bit/384kHz PCM; DSD128/5.6MHz USB DAC + belt drive CD player + headphone amp. A digital input and headphone terminal have been added for the first time to a belt-drive CD player. This maximizes the most advanced DAC technology developed by ESS, and the headphone output enables direct listening without amplifier and loudspeaker system. With USB input connected to a computer up to 32bit/384kHz PCM and DSD128/5.6MHz high-resolution music sources can be reproduced through the CD 5. Here the CD 5 works as the high-resolution music reproduction device in addition to an independent D/A converter for CD music. The conversion from digital to analog signal is performed by the ESS Hyper stream DAC chip ES9018K2M which is compatible up to 32-bit/384kHz signals. In addition signals through ES9018K2M go through original full-balanced circuit to achieve dynamic and musical reproduction of music. The CEC CD 5 offers two different digital filters, “FLAT”, a standard filer with super linear frequency response to 20kHz, and “PULSE”, a ringing-free pulse-optimized filer with a softer roll-off below 20kHz. SPDIF input is compatible up to 24bit/192kHz by COAXIAL and TOSLINK terminals. USB input for the connection to a computer is compatible up to PCM 32bit/384kHz and DoP reproduction at DSD128/5.6MHz. A large (dimmable) display indicates input status, condition of digital filter, and the input sampling frequency • Please download the CEC CD5 brochure
