Its rear digital and analogue outputs enable customization and compatibility with various audio equipment, while a shielding solution ensures, say the Swiss HiFi brand “perfect harmonization between different parts of the device”.

MECHANISM

Based on the D&M SACD mechanism, it is integrated into the Goldmund mechanical grounding system to evacuate vibrations, and the Goldmund damper to increase rigidity of the loader mechanism.
