Reduced in February 2024. It is a direct-drive top loader. The transport is a specially modified Philips CDM12 adapted for a top-loader design. ART stands for "Aligned Resonance Transport". The transport is mounted on a suspended, 22-pound slab of granite.The suspension is accomplished by high-tension polyester straps hooked to the top of the medium-density fiberboard casing. The clock generator is also mounted on the granite slab. Audionet believes that this reduces jitter at its source by reducing mechanical resonance. The Delta-Sigma DAC is 24/96kHz. Separate voltage supplies & transformers for both the transport and the DAC. Among the unique features of the ART V2 are digital filters that Audionet calls "Lagrange" and "Audionet." The Audionet filter is supposed to open up the frequency response more than the Lagrange. The Audionet ART V2 is a sweet sounding CD player with a smooth, non-digital presentation, a deep bass reproduction and stunning ability to reproduce the human voice. Specifications: (3) Digital outputs: S/PDIF, AES/EBU and BNC. These outputs can be switched off when not in use for a subtle but noticeable improvement in sound quality. 1 x Single-ended analog output (RCA). Remarks: a) No original packaging; b) Fair overall condition and appearance with some visible cosmetic wear including three dents on the rear panel. Three dents on the top back of the unit. |
