Features

•Quick response power supply circuit

The superior power supply circuit adopted by this unit achieves vastly improved response by employing ‘no feedback’ circuitry and low impedance parallel main capacitors characteristicly used in professional audio monitoring.

•High-precision low-jitter master clock

For more accurate digital transmission, the

crystal oscillator used is the same type found in commercial communications devices demanding high-precision time-keeping.

•Sampling rate converter

During CD play, signals are up-sampled to

176.4kHz, while the dedicated audio master clock simultaneously reduces jitter, thus assuring high-fidelity sound reproduction.

•Legato Link Conversion Pro and Hi-Bit Pioneer’s unique Legato Link Conversion system restores high-frequency dynamics lost in the digital recording process, to fully reproduce all the shading and detail of the original musical performance. This results in a minimum amount of phase shift across the entire hearable audio spectrum.

•Twin D/A converter 192 kHz/24-bit

The on-board Twin Wolfson 192 kHz/24-bit DAC means that this player is fully capable of delivering exceptional sound quality in terms of dynamic range, low-level resolution and high- frequency detail.

•Pure Audio listening

The Pure Audio feature allows you to listen to analog audio sources with the digital outputs disabled, and the front panel display switched off.
