The updated version of the Atoll CD200 Signature CD-player offers both design changes relative to the previous version and improved sound quality.
The Atoll CD200 Signature is based on the Teac transport mechanism, mounted on an anti-vibration chassis. Digital-to-analog conversion is implemented on the basis of the Burr-Brown PCM1792 chip from Texas Instruments, the DAC has parameters of 24 bits/192 kHz and is equipped with a digital filter with 8x oversampling. The system design uses a differential current output, and the current/voltage converter in it is built on bipolar transistors. The output analog stages of the Atoll CD 200 Signature are built using a differential circuit and operate in pure class A.
To achieve the highest sound parameters, the CD-player is equipped with a linear power supply on a toroidal transformer with a power of 30 W, and the total capacity of the filter capacitors reaches 17,000 μF; seven stabilized voltage sources are used for various functional circuits.
In addition to analog outputs, the commutation arsenal of the Atoll CD200 Signature includes optical and coaxial digital outputs. In addition, the player can be optionally equipped with a module of digital inputs (optical, coaxial, USB) for use as an external DAC.
