Description :
The Musical Fidelity CDPre24 was designed to give true audiophile sound quality with a wide range of useful digital facilities, in a compact, neat, beautifully engineered package, for a sensible price. Unless you want to spend a huge amount of money, there is nothing else like it on the market. Maybe because there's no market for this sort of product, or maybe just because we're the first. The heart of the CDPre24 is a great quality analog preamp, with digital facilities around it. In front of the analog preamp are a CD transport and a super-quality DAC. The transport and upsampling DAC and filter assembly are the same as those used in the Nu-vista 3D. The CDPre24 has three analog inputs as well as the CD transport and two digital inputs.
It also has an additional analog-to-digital converter so that its digital tape loop will work from all inputs. Apart from having great sound quality, the CDPre24 is invaluable for anyone who needs to process or handle their music signals in a digital domain. The CDPre24 has been very well received by audiophiles, the audio press and audio retailers and we hope that its unusual format and facilities will be just what many digitally oriented audio fans are looking for.
Features :
- 96kHz upsampling (96kHz upsampling takes all the digital rubbish out of band and gives incredibly smooth, natural sound)
- Digital inputs (Allows other digital sources to be integrated into a high quality system)
- Preamp, DAC and CD player in one box (It's neat, tidy, sophisticated)
- Analog preamp (Superlative sound)
- Digital tape loop (All inputs to CDPre24 can be recorded in a digital domain)
- Very high quality power supply (Allows all circuitry to perform to its best without any external interference)
