Top loading Naim CDS 3. The CDS3 features the Philips CD10 transport using a high quality hall motor disc drive VAM 1250 mechanism. The crucially important suspension system for the transport consists of three precisely tuned leaf springs to optimise servo operation. Two further independent suspension arrangements isolate both the digital and analogue circuit boards from the environment, using optimally damped spring decoupling. the digital data is routed to a 24-bit - 8 times oversampling digital filter with HDCD decoding. The data is then sent to two (one per channel) Burr-Brown PCM 1704-K, 24-bit mono Digital to Analog converters. HDCD decoding is only activated when playing encoded discs. A separate, fully optimised master clock controls digital to analogue conversion and the clock circuit configuration and layout are engineered to minimise jitter.
The CDS3 has 26 low-noise, regulated power supplies on the main circuit board, fourteen on the analogue output board and four on the servo board. Power for the whole machine is provided by the XPS power supply, which has six separately regulated, very low-noise outputs. Thus all critical circuitry is triple regulated. Good condition. Specifications: (2) Analogue outputs: 1 x Din 5 pins and 1 x RCA. Output impedance: 10 Ohms maximum. Frequency Response: 10Hz - 20kHz +0.1dB/ - 0.5dB. Output level: 2.1Vrms at 1kHz. Remarks: Head unit only. We have an Olive Naim XPS Power Supply listed separately.
