Product Description
Abbingdon Music Research (AMR) - a truly British company was established with the aim to revive the British tradition and approach to the design of high-end audio equipment: it has succeeded in this regard.
The CD-77 is founded on hybrid technology, electron valves get on fine with the modern digital components and the interface of USB, which lets you use the player as an external DAC at a professional level of quality for any digital audio source.
This player uses six NOS tubes: a pair of EZ80 / EZ81 / 6CA4 double triode for power rectification, two ECC81 / 12AT7 / 6072A for amplification and another pair of 5687s in the output
buffering stage.
At the heart of the player – are a DSP from Texas Instruments and a DAC from the "old school" style of design, the "King of the Multibit" and legendary 16-bit Philips TDA1541A DAC chipset with the latest CPLD (ComplexProgrammable Logic Device).
