Product Description
Vincent Audio's CD-S7 hybrid CD player carries over the popular features of the German company's widely acclaimed CD-S6 MK, including a vacuum tube output stage for rich and glorious sound. And thanks to the adjustable output level, you can connect the CD-S7 directly to a power amplifier without the need for a separate preamp. For enhanced performance compared to the CD-S6, the S7 uses Burr-Brown PCM-1796 24-bit, 96 kHz DACs rather than the PCM-1732 found in the S6. And instead of the CD-S6's two-way design, the new S7 boasts a four channel balanced analog amplifier. Another big step up is the use of premium internal components, including WIMA capacitors, with M-CAP capacitors employed in the power circuit board. A masterpiece of sonic excellence, the CD-S7 offers a stunningly outstanding musical portrait in an elegant and classy design. A true 'Class A' configured vacuum tube output stage complements the latest in cutting edge 24-bit, 96 kHz D/A conversion. The result is a warm, rich, and detailed soundstage with subtlety and finesse. Yet it maintains the energy and dynamics of solid-state circuitry that are needed to maintain your favorite music's energy and spirit. The oversize power supply contributes to the response, stability, and quiet operation. The surprising 20-lb. weight of the CD-S7 and its substantial chassis testifies to the quality of the power supply as well as the general build. A robust Philips VAM 1202 transport mechanism joins forces with Burr-Brown PCM-1732 24-bit, 96 kHz DACs.
