Roksan Caspian M2 CD CD-player
Roksan Caspian M2 CD player embodies the top of digital sources of the famous British brand. It has a carefully thought-out design, where the primary attention is paid to the power scheme. Two powerful toroidal transformers are installed to provide all the key parts of the device with maximum clean energy inside. Such a multi-circuit power supply allows not only to significantly reduce the mutual influence of nodes, but also to protect the digital part of the device and the sensitive analog output stage against harmful interference. The transport mechanism, located in the center, is designed for work only with CD-Audio disks, while support of CD-R and CD-RW is specified. The well-known PCM1798 chip from Texas Instruments makes here digit-to-analogue transformation. This two-channel converter has been long used in serious sound equipment and has a wide dynamic range and low nonlinear distortion. There is a pair of high-class gold-plated RCA and balanced XLR connectors for the connection to an amplifier, providing the highest possible sound quality. Also there are digital outputs - optical, coaxial and AES/EBU.
British Caspian M2 CD player was remembered for its extremely emotional, exciting sound, and audiophile accuracy and detailing are also present. For example: tonally correct medium frequencies, characterized by a fine elaboration of nuances and high sound resolution, without protrusion of artifacts. One of the most valuable qualities of the player is a smooth representation of all bands that harmoniously forms a single whole. Just click on play - and music appears. After careful analysis of the model's sound aspects, you will find a very accurate and strong bass, correct by structure and weighty in depth. The upper part is very natural - not only discants, but also the smallest air components are clearly drawn. The sound space can be described as sufficient in width and clearly echeloned in depth. The front edge of the scene is somewhat moved nearer, but there are no questions to the accuracy of the positions of individual instruments.
