The Signature Series CD players have benefited from many innovations, whether in terms of power supplies or audio and conversion stages. In addition, all of these devices can now accommodate a 24 bits/192 kHz DAC board relying on the player’s internal converter. The USB input is asynchronous.
The CD50 Signature comes in a new metal case with a superb 4mm brushed-aluminium front panel (silver or black)! Of course, this front panel takes the new design of Atoll products. Below the tray, a low power consumption OLED display gives the different playback and range information. On each side, there are 3 control buttons that take over the main functions (play, stop, pause, forward/backward). The back panel provides an asymmetrical stereo analogue output, a digital output in S/PDIF coaxial format and a Toslink optical output.
This CD player features TEAC Pure Audio CD mechanics optimized to reduce jitter to a minimum. It is mounted on a central anti-resonant chassis to avoid any vibration that would damage the playback. The CD50 Signature player is compatible with CD, CD-R, MP3 formats CD-RW, WMA and AAC. It is also compatible with the CD Text if the CD has one.
To limit all interferences, Atoll opted for 4 regulated power supplies, dedicated to analogue and digital. A transformer is used specifically for the audio stages.
Can optionally be equipped with an upgrade module with three digital inputs.
