The CD140 is a CD player from Kora, a French manufacturer known for considered electronics engineering, sharing chassis dimensions with several of the brand's other components. The CD140 brings Kora's considered approach to disc-based digital source playback.

Key specs that matter

Frequency response for CD playback spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output level is 2.28V single-ended, with output impedance at 50 ohms. At 100 x 420 x 340mm and 7.0kg, the CD140 shares its width and depth dimensions with Kora's own DAC140 and PR140 preamplifier, reflecting a coherent chassis design language.

Sound and use context

Expect dependable, considered CD playback reflecting Kora's broader French engineering approach, packed into a chassis matching the brand's coherent width and depth design language.

Pairing

Kora's own PR140 preamplifier and DAC140 share matching chassis dimensions for a visually coherent stack, and the brand's broader electronics catalogue offers additional companion components.

Alternatives

Kora's broader digital source catalogue offers alternatives for buyers wanting a different digital source configuration.
