CH Precision has unveiled the D10 Reference Transport, a groundbreaking audio component designed for SACD, CD, and MQA-CD playback. With its roots in the D1.5 design philosophy, the D10 is a monumental redefinition of optical disc playback, boasting uncompromising precision, durability, and sonic fidelity.

Central to its design is the innovative MORSE (Mechanically Optimized Reading & Stability Enhancement) laser drive, engineered entirely by CH Precision. This cutting-edge mechanism weighs an impressive 13 kilograms—ten times the mass of its predecessor—offering unprecedented vibration damping and stability. The transport platform itself utilizes a composite design, combining an aluminum outer layer with a dense brass core, providing superior mechanical robustness and eliminating vibrations under 20 Hz. Precision-engineered alpha-gel isolators further mitigate noise, maintaining the integrity of digital data retrieval and ensuring an exceptionally clean signal.

Attention to detail shines with the inclusion of a precision circular level mounted directly on the transport mechanism. This feature enables exact calibration of rotational stability, independent of the overall chassis, enhancing tracking accuracy. Such meticulous design decisions unlock greater sonic resolution, spatial accuracy, and natural tonal expression—qualities often overlooked in conventional designs. The top-loading optical mechanism is paired with a hybrid-action motorized door, ensuring seamless operation while contributing to the transport's robust construction.

The D10 employs a dedicated external power supply (PSU) designed to provide ultra-clean power to the transport. With reserves comparable to high-grade power amplifiers, this PSU features four galvanically isolated sections, independently supplying energy to the laser motor, control electronics, DSP, and master clock. These isolations eliminate electrical interference and maintain pristine conditions throughout the system. Cascaded regulation further guarantees stable, noise-free current delivery, preserving signal accuracy down to the most minute level.

The D10’s extraordinary engineering results in an enhanced listening experience, with expanded soundstage depth, precise timing, and refined low-level detail retrieval. Weighing a combined 64 kilograms including the PSU, the D10 stands as an unmatched benchmark for optical disc reproduction, embodying CH Precision's relentless commitment to music's authenticity and emotional depth. Pricing and availability details are yet to be disclosed, leaving the audio world eager in anticipation.
