TOTALDAC d1-CD – Top-Loading Compact Disc Transport
04.03.2025 17:41 | ~1 minute read
French company TOTALDAC has released the d1-CD CD transport, the “ultimate solution” for High End disc-based systems. The TOTALDAC d1-CD transport is based on the top-loading CD-PRO8 drive, and also features separate clock generators for the drive and audio outputs, as well as an intelligent ground distribution system.
The TOTALDAC d1-CD transport clock generator has a standard deviation of only 40 femtoseconds. The external power supply has much better galvanic isolation than conventional mains power supplies, which helps minimize electromagnetic interference on the transport circuits.
The TOTALDAC d1-CD transport is based on a monolithic copper plate (the same type used in TOTALDAC digital-to-analog converters), which is separated from the optical disc drive by four conical springs and four silicone dampers. The platform itself is isolated from the mounting surface by three anti-vibration supports with built-in ball bearings. The new product is already on sale in Europe at a recommended retail price of 7,500 euros.
