The Passion CDT450 is an easy-to-use top-loading player. The transport mechanism uses a high-quality Philips CD PRO mlm with a patented Blue Diode system. The CD is loaded through a sliding door, which must remain partially open during playback to minimize vibration due to the movement of the airflow from the rotation of the disc.

YBA PASSION CD430
The CD430 has always been a very important part of our Passion line, so we had to pay special attention to it when upgrading to the MKII version. The transition from the discontinued Philips CD PRO mechanics to the Philips CDM4 and the upgrade of the DAC section to a pair of AD1955 analog devices ensured that the original sound quality was preserved and makes it look forward to the future.

The ABAC Genesis CD4 has balanced and RCA analog outputs, and it can also be used as a transport, with a coaxial digital output. It is possible to turn off the power to the digital output.

YBA HERITAGE CD100
The YBA Heritage CD100 CD player is also capable of acting as a DAC with an SPDIF or USB connection and is equipped with the same digital-to-analog converter from Wolfson. One of the switches on the facade allows you to control the frequency of oversampling, while the network player does not have an upsampler. At the same time, the CD100 has a much more modest set of digital outputs than the MP100B.
