Giới thiệu Audio Research CD5

TAD is a company that never compromises its design concepts and technologies. Our mission is to achieve a purity of sound to a degree that has never before been experienced. Introducing the TAD-D600. Backed by 30 years of professional audio experience, this new reference standard disc player inherits the TAD spirit of continuous evolution and refinement. Its core technology, an Ultra-high-Precision Crystal Generator master clock (Master Clock UPCG), provides an ultra-high clock to noise ratio (Ultra-high C/N) achieving incomparably accurate D/A conversion performance. With this innovative technology, the D600 begins a new era in music reproduction, music unaltered from the original recording and true to the performance.

Thiết kế đầu Audio Research CD5

The design philosophy to which TAD engineers prescribe can be stated as, “Communicate the extent of music exactly as it was originally performed.” To adhere to this philosophy, and because the clock performance greatly impacts the precision of D/A conversion, TAD engineers prioritized the development of a new master clock for the D600. This process led to the creation of the Ultra-high C/N Master Clock UPCG, which significantly reduces jitter in the frequency bands around the clock center frequency. Our original approach to engineering results in the ability to directly convey the purity of the musical performance.

The D600 employs a new proprietary crystal oscillator that improves noise level more than 50dB compared with conventional players, attaining ultra-high C/N characteristics. TAD focused specifically on C/N in order to provide the most accurate sound reproduction capability, aiming to thoroughly reduce jitter in the low frequency sideband ranges relative to the center frequencies. TAD developed the crystal oscillator in co-operation with a crystal manufacturer. Based on technologies developed for high-speed digital base station relay facilities, this produces an oscillator perfect for the D600.
