Aqua LA DIVA M2 CD Transport
Uncompromised in every respect, La Diva cd transport is the culmination of Aqua’s R&D in the areas of electronic and mechanical engineering.
FEATURES• High performance proprietary ISDC (Isolated Synchronous Discrete Circuit) digital decoding and clock manager
• Custom designed discrete circuit with high-speed photocouplers for Galvanic and magnetic isolation between CD drive unit and digital output
• Ultra massive chassis construction and newly developed high-rigidity sub chassis with Nextel for CD drive unit cancels internal and external acoustic and mechanical vibrations, enabling exceptionally accurate "Red Book" RF signal
• DC disc drive motor allows to read the data accurately and minimize Jitter
• Moplen clamp to avoid flywheel masses and vibrations
• Sophisticated signal processing technology assures excellent CD Red Book signal
• High-performance multi-stage voltage regulator (high-current stage for accurate servo DISC drive rotation, tracking and focus)
• Jitter free digital interface AQlink (I2S protocol), uncompromising digital connection to our DACs
• etherCON RJ45 (AQlink) output connection to DAC, employs CAT6 cable can connect both RJ45 and professional etherCON RJ45
• Separate custom-built toroidal transformers for digital and servo motors/actuators
