An essential building block for excellent CD sound
Typically, when you buy a CD player, it comes with a DAC inside the chassis. So why does Cambridge Audio make their CXC v2, a CD transport without an onboard DAC? Because it's a specialist that does one job extremely well: reading the information on your CDs. Cambridge's proprietary S3 Custom CD Servo™ drive mechanism provides maximum data retrieval with state-of-the-art error correction and minimal jitter. and the signal stays digital throughout the process. Sending pure digital signals to a separate DAC keeps noise and interference to a minimum, for the best possible sound.
Pair it with top-notch processing and power
Cambridge recommends pairing this disc transport with one of their CXA series integrated amplifiers. The high-quality Wolfson and ESS DACs built into those amps are chosen for their ability to reveal subtle layers of detail and clarity, so your CDs sound the way musicians, engineers and producers intended.
