The HERITAGE CD100 is a CD player from YBA, part of the Heritage lineage, built with an exceptionally low distortion figure and a detailed per-connection signal-to-noise specification. The HERITAGE CD100 brings YBA's considered engineering to disc-based digital source playback.

Key specs that matter

Frequency response for CD spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output level is 2V balanced or 4V single-ended. Signal-to-noise ratio for CD is 108dB via RCA or a strong 113dB via XLR, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under an exceptionally low 0.001%. At 430 x 372 x 118mm and 5.7kg, the HERITAGE CD100 maintains a manageable CD player chassis within the Heritage lineage.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean CD playback reflecting the strong over-108dB signal-to-noise figures across both connections and near-immeasurable 0.001% distortion figure, consistent with YBA's broader considered Heritage-lineage engineering philosophy.

Pairing

YBA's own amplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings within the same broader catalogue.

Alternatives
