DRIVE II

Audiophile reference CD transport in top-loader design

High-Class CD mechanism (CD-Pro2LF) with heavy die-cast metal frame and involved mechanical decoupling, embedded in a massive aluminium housing (subchassis construction principle)

2 generously dimensioned and magnetically shielded toroidal core transformers of premium quality (”Made in Germany“)

Integrated, especially designed ACCUSTIC ARTS® line filter for perfect and extremely clean power supply (line filter switchable) Separate generously dimensioned power supply units for laser control, digital signal processing, display control and display heating

CD positioning in drive using exceptionally precise clamper, whereby
the integrated magnet inside the clamper guarantees ideal pressing
and smooth running

Polarity switch for correct phase of the mains voltage

Extremely fine digital output stage with the following features:
- separate transformer
- separate extra large power supply unit with voltage stabilisation
- output stage with extremely low jitter
- 3 professionally designed digital outputs with HF-transformer (1 x XLR, 1 x RCA, 1 x BNC)

Very high power supply capacity (61,000 μF) for perfect power supply

All used components and parts are selected and of highest quality

Extremely stable, massive and resonance optimized housing, primarily made of 10 mm thick aluminium plates, ultra stable and acoustically damped top load cover; all chromed parts are made of massive brass
