Main features
Toroidal transformer
This unit features a toroidal transformer that produces less
vibration and magnetic leakage fl ux compared to conventional
power transformers. The materials and manufacturing process
of the ring-shaped core are strictly controlled to reduce vibration,
while the short-ring attached to the perimeter of the transformer
reduce magnetic leakage fl ux.
Large-capacitance block capacitor
A large capacitance 3300 µF capacitor carefully selected for its
acoustic characteristics is incorporated into the power supply
circuit.
Audiophile-grade fi lm capacitors and electrolytic
capacitors
The unit’s features the same audiophile-grade fi lm capacitors and
electrolytic capacitors specifi cally used in top-range models.
Low-noise low-distortion fi lter circuit and high-
speed HDAMSA2-type output amplifi er with the
differential input type HDAM
Double-layered chassis
High-grade machined analog audio output
connectors
Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs
Playback of CD-R/CD-RW/CD-ROM discs (MP3/
WMA) and USB audio (MP3/WMA/WAV/AAC)/
