Description

The CD192 is the highest performing CD player in the Arcam DiVA range, offering superior performance, a greater feature set and better value than previously was possible in the DiVA line. Arcam was designing and building high performance CD players in its UK factory since 1986. All of this experience has been pulled together to make the CD192 the clear “best in class” performer.

Using the design philosophy from Arcam’s FMJ player, the CD33T, the CD192 features upsampling technology*. By converting the standard CD digital audio to the high sample rates and bit depths used by DVD-Audio, some of the sound quality benefits of this more advanced disc format can now be realised in a standard CD player. Four Wolfson WM8740 DACs convert the digital data back to the analogue domain, the multiple DACs averaging out any errors that may be present in individual DAC ICs.

Finally a DC coupled output stage and extremely accurate ultra-low jitter clocking system ensure a sound quality that is truly remarkable from a conventional CD and sensational at this price.

The upsampling and DAC techniques effectively “upgrade” your CD collection offering more detail, greater imaging and an overall more emotional portrayal of the music.
