Hybrid CD-Player

The Hybrid CD-Player is an advanced digital audio source component designed to combine high-quality CD playback with versatile digital audio processing capabilities. As the successor to the CD-S1.1, this model expands functionality by supporting external digital sources through optical, coaxial, and USB inputs, allowing it to serve as both a CD player and a standalone digital-to-analog converter within a modern Hi-Fi system.

At the core of the player is the Burr-Brown PCM1796 digital-to-analog converter, capable of processing high-resolution audio signals up to 24-bit/192 kHz. This premium DAC ensures accurate signal conversion, preserving detail, dynamics, and musical transparency across a wide range of audio content. Whether playing compact discs or processing external digital sources, the unit delivers refined and consistent sound quality.

The analogue output stage incorporates two 6N16 vacuum tubes, which are responsible for the player’s distinctive sonic character. This hybrid design combines the precision of modern digital technology with the smoothness and musicality associated with tube amplification. The result is a balanced, natural presentation with excellent tonal richness and listening comfort.

The player offers a comprehensive selection of inputs and outputs, including optical, coaxial, USB, balanced XLR, and stereo RCA connections. This flexibility enables seamless integration into a wide variety of audio systems while supporting both balanced and unbalanced signal paths. A dedicated headphone output further enhances versatility by allowing convenient private listening.

With low distortion, high channel separation, and a wide dynamic range, the Hybrid CD-Player delivers accurate and immersive audio reproduction.
