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.

Performance evaluations reveal that the d1-CD delivers exceptional information clarity, transparency, and micro nuances, closely rivaling analog master tapes and live recordings. The external power supply not only enhances the noise spectrum but also ensures that the digital signal remains pristine by avoiding electromagnetic interference. With two digital outputs—RCA coaxial S/PDIF and XLR AES-EBU—the d1-CD offers versatile connectivity for a wide range of high-fidelity audio systems.

Encased in an aluminum and PMMA enclosure, the d1-CD combines durability with an elegant aesthetic. Optional features such as a silver massive aluminum front panel and BNC coaxial digital outputs allow for further customization to meet the preferences of discerning audiophiles. Priced at $7,500, the d1-CD stands as a testament to Totaldac’s dedication to delivering top-tier digital source solutions, making it an excellent addition to any high-end audio setup.
