| AMR CD-77 Reference Class CD Player |
Features - $9,000
AMR's design brief was simple in essence but complex in
execution: "to match and exceed the performance of the new
Super Audio CD®." To achieve this lofty objective, the CD-77 is
able to lay claim to a unique approach in design and manufacture.
To begin, the proprietary top-loading transport mechanism is a
painstaking amalgamation of genuine Sony and Philips
components best suited to the application.
At the heart, the Digital to Analogue Converter is the "King of the
Multibit" – the Philips TDA1541A chipset, which is accompanied
with a leading-edge circuit incorporating the latest CPLD
(Complex Programmable Logic Device) and DSP (Digital Signal
Processing) devices. Combined with a revolutionary analogue
stage using pure New Old Stock valves, the musical performance
of the CD-77 must be heard to be believed.
The CD-77 is unrelenting in its maximisation of the sonic
performance and pushes the performance of CD to a new level
that seriously questions the ability of Super Audio CD®... It is one
of the select few that bridges the performance gap between
compact disk and vinyl or analogue master tapes.
