Developed with the expertise gleaned from Lyngdorf Audio's award-winning digital amplifiers and CD players, the CD-2 is recognized as one of the top pure audio CD players available today. Specifically tailored for audio playback, it utilizes a pure audio drive for simplicity and improved performance over multi-format drives, which are predominantly based on video-related technologies. Typically, in these systems, audio output must be re-sampled using uncontrolled clocks leading to potential quality degradation. Although there are attempts to optimize these clocks within the drive, issues such as ground potential variations and noise from the control board invariably persist.

The power supply in the CD-2 is a testament to Lyngdorf Audio's commitment to quality. It features a finely-tuned switch mode power supply, meticulously regulated and engineered to reduce noise and impedance, thus enhancing overall sound quality. The supply utilizes four independent secondary windings in the transformer to separate the analog and digital circuits, which helps in minimizing digital noise interference in the analog outputs. Additionally, the design emphasizes optimal grounding and the chassis is fully electrically integrated, ensuring a consistent and interference-free power delivery.

Lyngdorf Audio is known for its dedication to producing devices that do not emit disruptive noise or radiation. This design philosophy not only prevents the CD-2 from affecting other devices but also shields it from external noise sources and electromagnetic interference, further solidifying its performance stability.

At the heart of its superior sound reproduction capabilities, the CD-2 boasts a high-grade D/A converter utilizing the Wolfson WM8740 chip. This choice underpins the device's ability to deliver both single-ended and balanced audio outputs. Paired with top-tier audiophile op-amps and a carefully balanced design, the CD-2 offers a listening experience that highlights its exceptional acoustic properties, setting it apart as a leading figure in audio reproduction technology.
