The A1 CD (factory sealed) is a top quality CD player. As everybody knows, sound quality starts at the beginning with the information gathering system. The A1 CD Pro uses the Philips CD Pro 2 mechanism. This is the best CD mechanism in the world. It is normally used in very expensive CD players such as the Nagra (which retails for over $10,000). The same mechanism is used in the A1 CD. There is no CD player anywhere, at any price, that has a better mechanism. And that’s the starting point for the A1 CD Pro!

Following on from the Philips CD Pro 2 mechanism we have a 24-bit 192K upsampling DAC, state-of-the-art filter and output technology as used in thr X-DACv8.

Retail $2800, your price $1680!
