Product Description:
The NAD C 542 CD player goes the extra mile in just about every performance area you can think of, from implementation of digital outputs to compatibility with CD-R and CD-RW discs. But its commitment to superior sound quality is unmistakable. The 24-bit high resolution Burr-Brown Sigma-Delta Digital-to-Analog converter chip with built in Pacific Microsonics digital filter was chosen for its excellent low-level linearity and detail retrieving capabilities. High quality Burr Brown 2134 professional grade op-amps are used instead of the much lower grade and type normally found at this price level. Separate power regulators for the digital and analog sections isolate the two electrically, reducing interference. Careful layout of the PCB tracks around the DAC helps to contain RF radiation and interference. Metal film resistors and polypropylene capacitors are used in key areas to ensure a highly accurate frequency response. Apart from the single output capacitor, no other capacitors are used in the signal path. The output impedance is very low at 150 ohms, making the NAD C 542 less sensitive to cables or the ancillary equipment it is partnered with. Full Comfort with Recordable CDsNot all CD players are comfortable with CD-R and CD-RW discs. The NAD C542 will easily play them, making this the perfect playback machine if you like to make your own homebrew compilation CDs. Digital outputs in lower cost CD players often incorporate compromises. Unusually at this price point, the NAD's coaxial output is buffered and isolated by a transformer from the converter itself, and the output impedance has been carefully tailored to produce a precise 75 ohms impedance to ensure perfect matching. This attention to detail reduces the timing errors (jitter) that could otherwise distort the digital data stream. An optical TOS Link output is also provided allowing connection to devices that only provide this option. Direct Track Access Wireless Remote
