Atoll Electronique DR400 – Top-Loading CD Transport
27.02.2025 07:59 | ~1 minute read
Atoll Electronique has introduced the Atoll Electronique DR400 top-loading CD transport, which is based on the CD400 EVO player. The model uses a solid aluminum platter, high-speed LVDS (Differential Line Driver) circuit, and an anti-vibration system.
The Atoll Electronique is housed in a case with a 10 mm brushed, micro-blasted and anodized aluminum front panel, solid aluminum sides and a 2 mm steel chassis. The new top-loading transport mechanism is developed by the company itself and uses a solid aluminum platter, as well as suspension mounting.
The power supply is based on a 30 VA linear transformer for the main circuits and a 1.6 VA linear transformer for the control logic, and two additional power supplies are also used in the circuit. Total capacitance of 88,000 µF is more suitable for power amplifiers – in Atoll Electronique DR400 such a scheme is applied to achieve the principle of redundancy. The cherry on the cake is a high-contrast OLED display with the option of showing CD text.
