Quad Elite CDS CD Player
The Quad Elite CDS CD player enjoys significant revisions throughout, including a new transport mechanism and servo system. Digital data stream is regulated by a high-performance master clock to minimise jitter (phase noise), then fed to a top-end Crystal 24-bit/192kHz DAC with upsampling, which replaces the older 24-bit/96kHz chip used by its predecessor. The highest quality electronic components are specified throughout, with multi-layer circuit boards and Quad’s advanced, proprietary filtering and control software.
The Quad Elite CDS CD player has been developed employing the strongest design features derived from its 99 series predecessor, but exhibiting updated internal audiophile-class components, highly specified transformers, multi-layer circuit boards and the latest, most advanced software available.
The Quad Elite CDS CD player is encased within a sleek new modern aluminium casework design in deep grey with a matte black front panel which maintains Quad's bold but stylishly elegant aesthetic. Constructed using superior class cast alloy which ensures that quality is according to Quad's standards and in turn guarantees a valuable investment that will last a lifetime whilst garnering much merit over years of use. The Quad Elite Series includes the Elite CD-S CD player, Elite CD-P CD playerpre-amplifier, Elite Stereo power amplifier, Elite Mono power amplifier, Elite FM tuner and Elite Pre pre-amplifier.
