Polish company Taga Harmony presented the Taga Harmony TCD-70T CD player, the output stage of which is implemented on two 6N2 tubes. Together with the reference chip of the ESS Technology SABRE ES9018 converter and a large-sized power supply based on a 100 W toroidal transformer, the model promises luxurious sound quality.
The Taga Harmony TCD-70T player is equipped with a Sunplus SPHE8104G IC optical disc drive, equipped with intelligent correction technology to improve the accuracy and stability of reading data from CDs. To ensure more stable playback, a buffer memory is used, and the Bessel filter ensures the preservation of phase linearity and the reduction of distortion in the entire frequency spectrum.
Taga Harmony TCD-70T offers a full set of connections, including RCA and XLR balanced analog output, optical and coaxial digital outputs, as well as a headphone jack (the output has an impedance of 32 Ohms and output power 30 mW) with the ability to adjust the volume.
