Integrated
Compact Disc player The Krell CD-DSP is the first integrated compact disc
player to combine an updateable software-based processor with a high-end CD
transport. The processor and transport are coupled to extremely flexibleinput
and output sections, creating a product
of unique function and value. Audiophiles can now gain the advanced performance
capabilities of separate components in a single unit.
Software-based
Processing
The CD-DSP
processor uses a 16 times oversampling version of our Waveform Duplicator
software, which is run on a Motorola DSP-56001 digital signal processor. The
extraordinary resolution of fine detail and accuracy of waveform reconstruction
achieved is not possible by other methods. The processor output is routed to a
Class A balanced analog output stage. The result is a sonic quality
distinguished by robust dynamic impact, extended frequency response and three
dimensional imaging.
The Waveform
Duplicator software is loaded into socket-mounted Eprom chips to allow
inexpensive software updates in the future .
Transport
and Operational Features
The CD-DSP
is built around the CDM-1 MK II Philips finest transport for CD player
applications system absorbs extraneous vibrations that might interfere with
data recovery from the disc.
The CD-DSP
is destined to become the digital heart of any audio system. Three inputs and
two outputs provide connection to other sources in the digital domain. Two
analog outputs allow the CD-DSP to drive independent systems.
Whether you
are considering yout first CD player or the replacement of an existing unit,
the CD-DSP is your invitation to the future.
