The X-D500 is a CD DRIVE that focuses on its main task: extracting the purest digital information from the CD.

The analog conversion will have to be done through a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) or an amplifier with digital inputs.

The linear power supply is based on 2 toroidal transformers for a perfect separation of the different power supplies. Circuits necessary for the operation of the product like the management of the mechanics, the treatment of the signal resulting from the laser will profit from such high quality supplies.

An Up-Scaling function allows to change the original digital signal (16bit/44.1kHz) to a High-Definition type signal (24bit/96kHz or 24bit/192kHz). The X-D500 benefits from a very rigid chassis thanks to its mechanical design. Each circuit is separated from the others by a compartmentalized construction ensuring effective shielding.

Equipped with digital outputs like Coaxial (RCA), Optical (TOSLINK) and AES / EBU (XLR), the X-D500 is a high-end component for your Hi-Fi system. Compatible with all our products (except the Xi50BT), it will allow you to enjoy your CDs, media that still remain a reference for its audio quality.
