INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing this Cambridge Audio D Series
Compact Disc Player. It has been designed using the results
from an extensive Research & Development program undertaken
to identify the circuitry and components fundamental to our
highly regarded and critically acclaimed products.
This knowledge has resulted in a reduced component count and
shorter signal paths which provide further enhanced
performance and improved reliability. The quality and value for
money offered by Cambridge Audio products now surpasses
even our high standards.
The D Series utilises a highly advanced control system that has been
custom designed by Sony for Cambridge Audio. At the heart of this system
is a VLSI (very large scale integration) circuit which dynamically adjusts
the focusing, tracking and output level of the laser for the maximum
retrieval of digital information. Some models also feature separate digital
and analogue stabilised power supplies and high quality clock modules,
employing jitter regulation, are coupled to the latest DACs and digital filters
to give an outstanding level of performance and reliability.
At Cambridge Audio we have identified that the customer's needs change
and for that reason all D Series Compact Disc players have interchangable
DAC boards for future upgrading.
This attention to detail has resulted in CD players that are convincing in the
reproduction of both tonal colour and dynamic contrast, deliver a vibrant
and fluid performance with music of all types and are therefore musically
very involving.
To gain the greatest musical rewards from this equipment we would
encourage you to use only high quality amplification and revealing
loudspeakers. We particularly recommend amplification from the Cambridge
Audio range, which has been designed to the same exacting standards
as our CD players.
Interconnects and speaker cables are also something that shouldn’t be
overlooked. Please do not compromise your system’s performance by
using poor quality cables to connect your D Series to your amplifier or the
amplifiers output to your loudspeakers. A system is only as good as its
weakest link. For this reason we do not include cheap “freebie” cables
in the box. Your dealer can supply quality Cambridge Audio interconnects
and loudspeaker cables that will ensure your whole system realises its
full potential.
Now we invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy!
