CD Box DS3 - a high end CD player
The CD Box DS3 introduces our completely new DS3 line. You can combine it with your existing DS2 products, as the Casework remains the same. For the new CD Box DS3 we picked the best features of its predecessors and added the Texas Instruments PCM1796 DAC to provide you with the perfect CD player with all the features you really need. Easily control the CD player with the buttons on the front, or with the supplied remote control and the high contrast dot-matrix display shows you all relevant information you need to enjoy your favorite CDs.
True Red Book CD Player
The Red Book standard specifies the physical parameters and properties of Digital Audio Compact Discs (CDDA). Pure CD players are, in contrast to DVD or Bluray Disc players, Frequently better in playback of stereo CDs. The drive is specifically optimized for 1:1 playback of the Red Book CDDA standard.
CD-80 Blue Tiger Servo
A CD drive is only as good as the servo which controls it. It's like the brain of the human which controls the movement of the body. Without the best brain you cannot reach the best performance in sport although the muscles are big. Our Blue Tiger CD-80 servo developed by
Stream Unlimited is the most advanced on the market.
Texas Instruments PCM1796 DAC
There have been many new DACs in the past, especially to reach a higher bit resolution. Yet the famous PCM1796 which has been used in many high end designs in super expensive CD players in the past has the most analog, sweet and easy to listen sound character.
The perfect choice for a CD player which aims to sound as close as possible to an analog record.
The CD Box DS3 offers a line level RCA output which can be used for any pre- or integrated amplifier and also two digital outputs to further pass a digital signal to another DAC.
Rigid Aluminum Housing
Standard sheet metal housings are not torsion-resistant and mechanically accurate enough to mount a sensitive CD drive where the laser position has to be correct all the time. Our Massive Aluminum chassis provides the best basis for a CD drive. It also protects the drive against vibration and electromagnetic interference.
CD Box DS3 is available in silver and black. Magnetic wooden side panels are available separately.
4-Point Intelligent Suspension
The intelligent suspension is able to provide a perfect resonance derivative. Three soft points isolate the drive from external vibration and one hard point leads high frequency vibration caused by the fast movement of the laser into the Massive chassis.
The cleanest power for your CD Box DS3
The Power Box DS2 Sources is a linear power supply which is available separately. It is a proven fact that a power supply is a very important part of the audio path and significantly contributes to the sonic quality of an audio product. Sound staging, Darkness of silent backgrounds and small detail resolution will improve strongly and contribute to a far better overall performance.
