People still want to play their CDs, but they also want to add other digital sources such as computer audio to their music systems, so ARC created the Reference CD9 CD Player/DAC.
It combines the best of both, a super high-resolution compact disc player with a super high-resolution digital-to-analog converter that is stunning in its musicality.
