Product Details

Description

The Vivaldi CD/SACD Transport II ensures that Vivaldi listeners experience the finest sound from their silver discs, combining dCS’s proven technologies with a dual-wavelength laser mechanism housed in a meticulously crafted aerospace-grade aluminum chassis. This transport is engineered for the ultimate listening experience, embodying dCS's uncompromising attitude, relentless innovation, and obsessive attention to detail. The Transport utilizes the latest-generation dCS Digital Processing Platform, providing state-of-the-art measured performance and an unrivaled musical experience.

The Vivaldi CD/SACD Transport II plays Red Book CDs in their native 16/44.1 format, while simultaneously upsampling the data to either DSD, DSDx2, or DXD. For SACDs, it plays the native DSD format while downsampling the data to the 16/44.1 format. This seamless handling of formats ensures a versatile and sophisticated playback experience.

The configuration menu offers the ability to save and restore settings, while the EasyPlay feature simplifies usability, improving the overall user experience. Enhanced power supplies contribute to a lower running temperature, offering superior tolerance to AC supply variations, while multi-stage power regulation ensures that sensitive clock and PLL circuitry remain unaffected by digital interference.

The chassis is crafted from aerospace-grade machined aluminum, equipped with tuned acoustic damping panels that reduce magnetic effects and vibration, ensuring optimal sound quality. With these upgrades and innovations, the Vivaldi CD/SACD Transport II brings listeners closer to their music than ever before, offering a truly exceptional audio experience.
