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.

Canor Audio has introduced the hybrid integrated amplifier Canor Virtus A3. The model uses the "dual mono" topology, a vacuum tube preamplifier on a pair of E88CC tubes, is equipped with a built-in digital-to-analog converter, a phono preamplifier and has a 1.3-inch touch LCD screen.
The new Nagaoka MP-700 cartridge tops the Moving Permalloy (MP) series and will be available in the standard MP-700 and premium MP-700H versions. Compared to conventional moving magnet (MM) cartridges, the Moving Permalloy (MP) variant features a lighter permalloy magnet attached to the cantilever.
Sennheiser has introduced the Sennheiser ACCENTUM Open TWS headphones – the model, designed in a stylish compact design, promises, according to the manufacturer, exceptional comfort during use and a secure fit.
The Ranieri Audio Labs Varieta preamplifier has been released – the model uses directly heated triodes and allows for a wide range of tubes (300B, 2A3/6A3, 12A/201A, 26, 30, 31, 45, 50, 71A, 801A/10Y, 275A/252A, 245 and 842/VT52 will do). Simply ideal for those wishing to experiment with tube rolling.
Accuphase has introduced the Accuphase C-57 phono preamplifier, based on a fully balanced circuit design from output to input with dual mono topology. The Accuphase C-57 also uses a two-stage solution: the first stage is the output stage to ensure matching with MM and MC cartridges, the second stage is the correction amplifier itself.
