Prestige-CD SACD Player
For those of us who casually listen to our CDs as background music, then just about any common player will do. But if you're a true music lover who appreciates all the nuances that make music truly special, then you need acquire a "Best Of" component CD player like the Prestige-CD/SACD Player to bring out the best in your CDs. The Prestige is an audiophile's dream, with the thoughtful technology packed into it that you'd expect in an upscale audio system. The two-channel Super Audio/standard CD player is designed for the best possible performance in digital and analog SA-CD and CD formats. Based on the latest Philips Super Audio CD mechanism, the Prestige treats the digital signal using its exclusive re-sampler featuring the DSD compatible STARS2 module. The incoming signal is re-sampled to 24bit/192kHz and in the case of SA-CD, DSD is first converted to PCM 88.2 kHz and then re-sampled to 24/192. The result of all the technology is stunningly perfect sound reproduction.
After thorough independent research, we selected the Prestige-CD SACD Player as a 3LUXE "Best Of", to see our other two CD Player selections visit our CD Player Overview.
