Description :
The Mission DAD5 is a lightweight machine, using a massive Philips CDM 4 optical device. It is designed to work together with the Mission DAC5 DA converter and match exactly side by side with a standard 17". It is based on Philips technology, covered by a light alloy cast for the curvaceous fascia which conceals the BitStream electronics lying within. The fascia holds a tiny display and frugal facilities. The unique appearance hides a loading tray, which emerges motor and laser, at the touch of a button. It allows the placement of CD directly onto the motor spindle which then holds the CD in position while the laser reads from below.
The frequencies of the Mission DAD5 are well separated, with a bright top end and a powerful bass. When it is fired up, it is a far better sounding player than most expect from its modest dimensions. It has plenty of airiness and space percolating through the most complex of classical tracks. It is a very accommodating and up-beat player that allows music to performs freely. Violins, piano and even brass soar without fear of compression. Bass is not often perceived as the fullest or deepest of instruments, while the fiercest of strings can often appear a mite shrill. Simple melodies can be seductive, the flow of guitar and vocals extending to the far corners of the room allowing the listener to have a real out-of-the-box experience. The Mission DAD5 is a potential choice for audiophiles who value the sense of space and atmosphere and treat them as precious and valued commodities.
