The CD Box DS (as well as CD Box S) is designed exclusively for playing audio CDs on the “Red Book standard” by Philips and is in this discipline, a true master of his trade. In addition to a high-quality, durable drive is essential for the perfect CD playback as well as a servo control optimized for audio playback. Our servo system allows real-time scanning with minimal jitter. Together with advanced D/A converter blocks a real highend reproduction is achieved, as it can not be found in this price range.
