New Pro-Quality CD Transport Upsamples to PCM and DSD
The NuPrime CDT-9 professional-quality CD transport upgrades the bestselling CDT-8 Pro. The new CDT-9 model provides additional noise filtering. It also adds improved functionality to the included wireless remote.
The CDT-9's powerful DSP-based decoder provides all Red Book error-correction capabilities with master-clock control of the entire decoding system, thus lowering jitter significantly. The transport’s single speed minimizes vibration and unbalanced discs. A selectable sampling rate converter (SRC) upsamples the CD format to higher sampling rate with ultra-low jitter and distortion. The talented player supports CD-DA, CD-R, and CD-RW discs.
Highly Accurate CD Playback
The CDT-9 coaxes an amazing level of performance from CDs, taking the original silver disc further than you ever thought it could go. The powerful ARM chip LPC2103F CD reads, writes, and controls error correction, while the Philips SAA7824HL high-end laser reads and writes head control and decodes chips. Algorithmic processing reduces digital interference, resulting in extremely low jitter while maintaining sonic purity.
Sampling Rate Converter
For outstanding sound quality, the sampling rate for CD playback can be upsampled to PCM and DSD, from 44.1kHz to 768 kHz or DoP256. The conversion is achieved by upsampling to mega hertz before down converting to the targeted sampling rate with resulting ultra-low jitter and distortion.
Four Digital Output Types
The CDT-9 boasts four different digital outputs The Toslink digital output provides up to 24-bit, 192 kHz, DoP64 resolution and speed. The three other digital outs – coaxial, HDMI I2S, and AES/EBU – each offer up to 24-bit, 768 kHz, DoP256) performance. The coaxial output uses a dedicated isolation transformer for extremely low noise and jitter, and for ultimate performance the very low jitter I2S HDMI output is for professional use. Please note that this transport does not have analog outputs.
For very quiet performance, the CDT-9 uses a custom R-type professional transformer with shielding to keep out airborne radio-frequency noise and electromagnetic interference. For environmentally friendly operation, it uses low power consumption while in standby mode.
Included are NuPrime vibration-free isolation feet and a high-quality aluminum remote control. Choose either black or silver anodized aluminum finish.
