Aqua La Diva CD Transport

£6,495.00Price

  • Uncompromised in every respect, La Diva cd transport is the culmination of aqua’s R&D in the areas of electronic and mechanical engineering.


    • 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 La Scala DAC, La Voce DAC

    • 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

    • MODULAR DESIGN with upgradeable multi board system

    • Precision Philips CD-Pro2 transport customized
