Atoll Electronique, a French manufacturer of accessible electronics, makes the DR400 EVO CD player as part of its disc player line. Its main technical point is a low output level at its balanced sockets as well as its single-ended ones.

Key specs that matter

Both the balanced and the single-ended outputs deliver 1 V, less than many rival CD players, which typically output 2 V or more. The chassis is wide and substantial at 440 x 340 x 100 mm and weighs 12 kg.

Pairing

Because of the 1 V output, an active preamplifier with healthy gain is the better partner. A passive volume control provides no gain itself and would leave little headroom except at settings close to maximum.

Alternatives

The Atoll Electronique CD200 Signature is a related model among the company's CD players.
