Audio Research CD6 SE CD Player w/DAC, Demo Unit
Great condition Audio Research CD6 SE demo unit in Silver Finish.
Unit comes with original box, packaging, power cord, and printed manual.
Rated 8/10 for minor cosmetic wear consistent with age and use.
The CD6SE is positioned to optimize most any digital format with spectacular results. The CD6 offers disc playback via the Philips Pro2 transport (still considered the industry standard), plus four digital inputs (USB, coaxial RCA, TOSlink, and AES/EBU). All inputs handle 24 bit / 192k resolution.
Benefitting from what Audio Research has learned in the development of the Reference DAC and CD9, the CD6SE utilizes quad 24-bit DACs running in mono mode, with dual master oscillators for highest performance; one for 44.1/88.2/176.4 sample rates, the other for 48/96/192kHz sample rates. Sample rate conversion is selectable for all inputs, allowing playback in native resolution or via upsampling, including compact disc and USB. Additionally, there is a selectable digital filter offering fast or slow rolloff. In addition to the digital inputs, the back panel includes two digital outputs (AES/EBU and BNC), and single-ended RCA and balanced XLR outputs.
Sonically, the CD6SE is a stunner, uncovering new musical detail in every corner of your recordings and providing startling dynamics, both micro and macro. The top end is extended, airy and pure, while bass definition and impact are precise and powerful. The recording venues are lifelike, broad and expansive or close-up and intimate, depending on what was captured by the recording engineer. Like great analog, listening to music through the CD6SE draws you into the performance, not just the notes, with resolution and transparency that are in service of the music. Experience your music in High Definition®.
