Key specs that matter
The ESS Sabre ES9018 conversion chip handles digital-to-analogue conversion, a well-regarded chip choice within the high-end audio industry. Frequency response for CD playback spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio for CD reaches 110dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at 0.005%. At a slim 70 x 430 x 320mm and 5.8kg, the TCD-70T maintains a comparatively compact, low-profile chassis.
Sound and use context
Expect clean, detailed CD playback reflecting the well-regarded ES9018 conversion chip and solid 110dB signal-to-noise figure, suggesting careful implementation.
