Aqua La Diva M2 CD Transport

Description

Uncompromised in every respect, La Diva M2 CD Transport is the culmination of aquas R&D in the areas of electronic and mechanical engineering.

Features

• High performance proprietary ISDC (Isolated Synchronous Discrete Circuit) digital decoding and clock manager
• Custom designed discrete circuit with high-speed photocouplers for Galvanic and magnetic isolation between CD drive unit and digital output
• Ultra massive chassis construction and newly developed high-rigidity sub chassis with Nextel for CD drive unit cancels internal and external acoustic and mechanical vibrations, enabling exceptionally accurate “Red Book” RF signal
• DC disc drive motor allows to read the data accurately and minimise Jitter
• Moplen clamp to avoid flywheel masses and vibrations
• Sophisticated signal processing technology assures excellent CD Red Book signal
• High-performance multi-stage voltage regulator (high-current stage for accurate servo DISC drive rotation, tracking and focus)
