Key Highlights
Totaldac d1-CD features the Austrian CD-PRO8 mechanism and advanced clock technology for ultra-precise signal accuracy.
Specialized isolation with copper base, springs, and rubber dampers minimizes mechanical and electromagnetic interference.
External power supply ensures superior galvanic isolation and pristine digital signal quality.
Totaldac has introduced the d1-CD, a high-precision CD transport poised to set a new standard in digital source technology. Crafted in France, the d1-CD utilizes the renowned Austrian CD-PRO8 mechanism and integrates comprehensive research from the development of Totaldac’s digital-to-analog converters, reclockers, and streamers.
The d1-CD boasts specialized oscillators with an outstanding 40 femtoseconds rms jitter, ensuring unparalleled signal accuracy. A dedicated clock distribution system and a unique S/PDIF generator work in tandem to maintain signal integrity. The transport is built on a solid copper base plate, isolated by conical springs and silicone rubber dampers, which minimize mechanical interference. Additionally, the design incorporates electromagnetic and mechanical damping, a live transformer, and an external power supply that provides superior galvanic isolation, effectively eliminating spurious noise and preventing mechanical vibrations from affecting the digital signal.
