As a modern digital source, the CD-10 can be easily controlled from the ultra-clear touchscreen display, the rotary knob or the multifunction remote. With both digital inputs and outputs, it’s also extremely versatile.

The precision CD mechanism is engineered for high-performance audio and extracts every bit of information from the disc to accurately create a pure digital signal stream. This is fed into the premium D/A converter, the AKM AK4493, our favourite design by the leading Japanese manufacturer for its unmatched quality.

The stream is converted into an analogue signal with incredible musicality and organic richness, preventing any distortion while preserving the entirety of its dynamic range to deliver a sound that’s detailed and real as it can be.

Every single component – from the mechanical chassis to the electronic circuits – has been carefully chosen and tested to achieve the very best in terms of sound quality, lowering the noise floor to the minimum so that you can enjoy the most subtle of decays.

The CD-10 can be upgraded with the addition of the PSU-10 EVO, the external power supply that will further enhance the performance of the player and enable even finer details, powerful sound and refined presentation.
