TAG M C L AREN AUDIO S cd player CD20R provides remote control and sophisticated programming facilities in a single, space- and cost-saving chassis. It combines a high-quality transport mechanism with a single-bit digital to analogue converter, providing a 20-bit output resolution and 128-times oversampling, thus resulting in excellent music reproduction. To ensure the CD20R remains part of your listening pleasure for many years to come, it offers upgrade potential by virtue of a separate digital output, allowing it to partner an outboard digital to analogue converter (such as TAG McLaren Audios DAC20).
A PERFECT PARTNER for the single-chassis cd player CD20R or separate cd transport CDT20R is the digital to analogue converter DAC20.The DAC20 provides the latest digital cd technology 24-bit digital input processing via a high-performance 24-bit digital filter and HDCD compatibility. Seven digital inputs are provided, allowing the user to connect not just cd transports but also DVD, MiniDisc, DAT, LaserDisc and other digital sources, via a choice of inputs SPDIF (Phono and BNC), EIAJ optical TOSLINK and AES/EBU balanced XLR. An important feature of the DAC20 is HDCD compatibility, ensuring cds mastered using this quality-improvement process can be fully appreciated.
F OR CD USERS who prefer to have their cd player in the form of its two constituent parts,TAG McLaren Audio presents the cd transport CDT20R, a perfect partner to our digital to analogue converter DAC20. The fully remote-controlled CDT20R uses the highly-regarded CDM 12.4 transport mechanism coupled to a three-beam laser.TAG McLaren Audio uses its own digital decoding and signal processing module to ensure the disc is read accurately, and that unwanted digital artefacts such as jitter are kept to a minimum. Ensuring flexibility, the CDT20R is fitted with a selection of output types SPDIF (Phono and BNC) and AES/EBU balanced XLR. The latest output circuitry eliminates high-frequency ringing to guarantee upper octave integrity when connected to an outboard da converter.
