The CD 2.1x/II CD player utilizes a modified Philips L1210 dedicated Red Book CD mechanism along with a DAC based on the Philips 1543 16-bit multi-bit digital-to-analog converter chip. The analogue output stage is equipped with the exceptional 6111WA miniature triode and Audio Note (UK)’s own Copper foil capacitors. This player, similar to its higher-end counterparts, does not feature oversampling or digital filtering, resulting in a highly effective sonic combination. All of these components are housed in a small and robust chassis, providing a compact and durable design for the CD player.
