    The Unico Uno CD player also features the use of triodes in the output stage. The ECC82 lamp is used here, however, to ensure a low output resistance, a Class A transistor stage is also installed behind it. The digital-to-analog converter in the model is made on the same chip as in the Unico Due - ESS Sabre DAC ES9018K2M amplifier, and it works not only with the data stream from the CD drive, but also with the signal coming from external sources.
