Product Description

Uncompromised in every respect, La Diva M2 CD Transport is the culmination of aquas R&D in the areas of electronic and mechanical engineering.

Features

  • High performance proprietary ISDC (Isolated Synchronous Discrete Circuit) digital decoding and clock manager
  • Custom designed discrete circuit with high-speed photocouplers for Galvanic and magnetic isolation between CD drive unit and digital output
  • Ultra massive chassis construction and newly developed high-rigidity sub chassis with Nextel for CD drive unit cancels internal and external acoustic and mechanical vibrations, enabling exceptionally accurate "Red Book" RF signal
  • DC disc drive motor allows to read the data accurately and minimise Jitter
  • Moplen clamp to avoid flywheel masses and vibrations
  • Sophisticated signal processing technology assures excellent CD Red Book signal
  • High-performance multi-stage voltage regulator (high-current stage for accurate servo DISC drive rotation, tracking and focus)
  • Jitter free digital interface AQlink (I2S protocol), uncompromising digital connection to Aqua DACs
  • etherCON RJ45 (AQlink) output connection to DAC, employs CAT6 cable can connect both RJ45 and professional etherCON RJ45
  • Separate custom-built toroidal transformers for digital and servo motors/actuators
  • MODULAR DESIGN with upgradeable multi board system
  • Precision Philips CD-Pro2 transport customised
  • High-quality parts selected for sound quality:
    • 105° long life capacitors
    • low noise Metal Foil ultra-precision resistors
    • metallised film pulse capacitor
    • ultra-fast diodes
    • halogen free cables
  • Aluminium top loading tray machined from billet
  • Non-magnetic low-resonance aluminium chassis with Nextel
  • Field upgradeable firmware
  • OLED display with user off-selectable illumination
