Built with premium components and advanced technologies, the CD-1000 provides exceptional audio quality and is compatible with a wide range of amplifiers and preamps. Some notable features of the CD-1000 include:1. Low-noise, high-powered USB DAC: The CD-1000's USB DAC (digital-to-analog converter) is designed to deliver the quietest possible signal, allowing for a stunningly clear and detailed sound. It provides a whopping 2.5 volts of output, enough to drive the most difficult-to-drive headphones or high-impedance line-stage circuits.2. Individual control over transport functions: The CD-1000's front panel provides individual buttons for many transport functions, making it easy to navigate CDs and select tracks. Plus, its silver-plated contacts and IC sockets make it incredibly easy to upgrade and repair in the future.3. upSAMPLE24: Grant Fidelity's upSAMPLE24 technology takes digital audio signals up to 24 bits and doubles them in both dimensions before sending them to the DAC, effectively creating a 48-bit signal. This process reduces digital artifacts and makes the audio sound more expansive, spacious, and holographic.4. Blackhole Emissomy: This is a proprietary filtering technique developed by Grant Fidelity that purportedly eliminates artifacts associated with Super Audio Compact Disks (SACDs). By combining low-pass, high-pass, and notch filters together, Blackhole Emissomy provides a smoothed-out sound that is less fatiguing to listen to over long periods of time.5. Compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers and preamps: The CD-1000 offers a variety of output options, including RCA, BNC, and XLR, as well as AES/EBU digital outputs.
