Philips Compact Disc Player CD 960

A signal-to-noise ratio of 100 dB. Dynamic range of96 dB. Channel separation greater than 100 dB. These are just a few of the superb specifications of the Philips CD 960 compact disc player, a player that offers audiophile -quality sound for the most demanding listener. 

 

From its elegant design to the superior chip architecture of the digital-to-analog converter, the CD 960 is truly world class. Philips, the inventor of the compact disc, has been constantly refining CD technology. The specially -selected high -resolution version of the acclaimed TDA 1541-A dual 16 -bit converter chip incorporated into the CD 960 is the culmination of those efforts. Coupled with a digital filter with four times oversampling that effectively eliminates any unwanted ultra -sonic noise, the CD 960 is a compact disc player that will become the center piece of your audio system.
