Reference
Class Compact Disk Processor
AMR's design brief
was simple in essence but complex in execution: "to match and
exceed the performance of the new Super Audio CD®." To achieve
this lofty objective, the CD-77 is able to lay claim to a unique
approach in design and manufacture.
To begin, the proprietary top-loading
transport mechanism is a painstaking amalgamation of genuine Sony
and Philips components best suited to the application.
At the heart,
the Digital to Analogue Converter is the "King of the Multibit" ¨C
the Philips TDA1541A chipset, which is accompanied with a leading-edge
circuit incorporating the latest CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic
Device) and DSP (Digital Signal Processing) devices. Combined with
a revolutionary analogue stage using pure New Old Stock valves, the
musical performance of the CD-77 must be heard to be believed.
The
CD-77 is unrelenting in its maximisation of the sonic performance
and pushes the performance of CD to a new level that seriously questions
the ability of Super Audio CD®... It is one of the select few
that bridges the performance gap between compact disk and vinyl or
analogue master tapes.
