Description :
The LFD Audio Minstral is a result of a 2 year research program in order to select the optimum CD transport and D/A converter technology for the best performance and reliability. This exhaustive research program produces the Sony based Mistral cd player. An advanced Differential Converter (A.D.C) has been employed within the Mistral CD player for improved noise performance, linearity and sound quality. The DA converter linearly interpolates the original sampling frequency, and then requantises the signal. A high order noise shaper removes the requantization noise before the signal is output via a pair of differential pulse-width modulated converters. To further improve sonic performance, separate isolated power supplies have been utilised for the digital and analogue sections of the CD player. One of the power supplies is a huge torroidal transformer. Extensive regulation of the power supplies also contribute to the superb transparency and resolution of this player. Specially selected passive components and cabling have also been used to further enhance its performance.

The LFD Audio Mistral cd player is designed to provide high quality sound clarity and realism. The smooth, balanced and high resolution sound produced makes it wonderfully warm and musical along the spectrum. The player is also capable of reproducing beautiful tonal accuracy, thus communicating the music exceptionally well. Its natural and realistic sound makes it a beautifully crafted high end player.
