Arcam CDS50 SACD/CD and Network Player
Our most advanced cd, digital audio and network streaming
player yet
In a sense, digital audio doesn’t exist. You’d have to be a
particularly dull superhero to possess ears that can decode the millions of 1’s
and 0’s that make up your CD collection or iTunes library. Whatever the source
– be it a laptop, CD player, smartphone, USB stick – the result is just a vibration
in your speakers. In other words, it all winds up analogue in the end.
Arguably, when playing from a digital format, the most vital
component is the DAC, or Digital to Analogue Converter. We’ll spare you the
bulk of the science, but this is what translates that otherwise lifeless binary
code into audible sound energy. Bit-depth, meanwhile, is a key measure of audio
quality.
So, if you’re listening to a 24-bit WAV copy of your
favourite album through a DAC that only converts to 16-bit, there’s a good chunk
of detail going to waste right there. That’s why we’ve included 32-bit DACs on
the entire HDA range – the most commonly used bit-depth in digital recording –
so you’re guaranteed the full aural picture of whatever the artist intended.
