Product Details

Product Overview & Specifications

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
