Description :
The CD2 integrated CD player is a culmination of Audio Note's unparalleled expertise and success in the design and implementation of Digital to Analog Converters and pure Class A triode output stages. In keeping with Audio Note tradition, the CD2 was designed to produce a level of performance unequaled at it's price point, thereby establishing a new benchmark for digital reproduction. The CD2 is among the best CD players at its price and beyond. Based around a Sony laser mechanism, with digital circuitry from Ultra Analog Devices, the CD2 has filtering that is all done in the analog domain. It's so fast electronically that you can't upset it even with the most breakneck acid rock, and it strips away layers from your discs to reveal whole new areas of musical information. It's just as competent with orchestral and chamber music, focusing the attention on the character of the instruments involved while still conveying the musical whole. It's well suited to big musical landscapes producing bass that can be measured in acreage across the floor, allied to a strong midrange and a gorgeously liquid treble that you feel you can reach out and touch.
