Reduced in November 2020. Was: €2.000. High-end CD processor with the ability to receive a digital signal from a laptop through USB or S/PDIF and to send digital signals to an external DAC or laptop. At the digital heart of the CD-777 is a Philips multi-bit chipset (UDA1305AT). That AMR refers to as 'Son of TDA1541A', its favourite converter. The CD-777 lets you choose from six Optisample filter settings with the remote control, the first two being non-oversampled purist settings called Direct Master I and II (which were developed by AMR). The latter is the default filter and adds an analogue filter to balance the slight treble roll-off produced by the totally unfiltered Direct Master I setting. There are four over/up-sampled filters offering 2x, 4x, 96Khz and 192Khz. Among the cherry-picked components inside the casework are hand-made transformers in the power supply and NOS valves called 6H1N-EV in the analogue stage. Even the top-loading transport mechanism is custom built, using a high-torque motor, Sony K-Series laser pick-up and a Philips CD-18 servo system. With a natural sound. Combines superb tonal rendering with excellent timing. Specifications: (2) Digital inputs: (1) USB 2.0 asynchronous type B and (1) S/PDIF. (1) S/PDIF Digital output. (2) Analogue inputs: (1) Balanced (XLR) and (1) Single-ended (RCA). Output voltage: > 2V. Frequency response: 20Hz to 20KHz +0.0,-0.5dB. Rated voltage: 110V/120V/230V-AC 50Hz-60Hz. |
