: CD Transport

Products: CD Transport

The Vekian - CDT is a truly superior CD Transport! It is precision-machined and hand-assembled from materials that provide excellent structural integrity, superb mechanical dampening, and isolates the internal circuitry from outside electrical interferences; while giving a stunningly sophisticated, elegant, and clean presentation. The Vekian - CDT is sonically breath-taking! The Vekian - CDT is designed to function beautifully with the Vekian - D/A through the I2S interface (via HDMI).

Features

  • The components are constructed to the strictest of tolerances utilizing CNC machines, and then hand assembled by highly skilled in-house technicians.
  • The CD drive uses several types of techniques to enhance the CD servo and laser mechanisms, which are proprietary.
  • The transport uses an extremely accurate master clock that utilizes special synchronization circuitry for the transport and the Stahl~Tek Vekian D/A via the I2S interface.
  • The output includes I2S Output via the HDMI connector, the Balanced mode AES/EBU, and the SPDIF via the RCA and BNC connectors. The Transport has 2 times and 4 times up-sampling capability on the I2S output.
  • The Transport uses a substantial power supply to provide stable power for all the internal electronics.
  • The Transport Unit uses 2 types of vibration and shock control systems. These systems include constraint layer dampening for vibration and specially shaped energy absorbing mounts for shock. This includes the equipment foot plate system that is specially designed to transfer energy more efficiently.
  • The unit comes with a simple in design and functional remote control that is housed in a precisely machined aluminum body.
