Product Details Box Original - Good Condition Packaging Original - Good Condition Product Excellent Condition - Product is blemish free Accessories Complete Much more than just a top quality CD player, the Audiolab 8300CDQ packs in a flexible DAC and pre-amp to make it a 3-in-1 wonder. Based on the 8300CD, the 8300CDQ Utilises the existing technology and of its predecessor offering all the same level of detail, transparency and dynamic range. It is both an exceptional CD player and a top-class external DAC/digital preamp, able to make the most of your CD collection. While delivering an enormous sonic boost to external digital audio sources, and the same as the 8300CD, it extends its resolution to 32-bit/384-kHz and DSD compatibility via USB.Taking it to the next level the 8300CDQ now includes MQA technology, which enables you to play back MQA audio files and streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording. The master MQA file is fully authenticated and is small enough to stream or download. Key Features Top quality CD playerAt its heart, this player is based around the award-winning 8300CD player. This means the same, top quality ESS Sabre 32-bit DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor) for sensational detail. Working with the ESS DAC, a Hyperstream modulator offers optimal transient response for a punchy, powerful sound. In summary, the CD player has the crisp, precise resolution and effortless dynamics that you’d expect from Audiolab.Slot-load mechanismUsing a slot-load mechanism makes the 8300CDQ faster to load and cleaner in style. Doing without the traditional loading tray also reduces the chance of resonance, improving sound quality still further. The mechanism is also tolerant of imperfect discs that might be scratched or dirty, letting you play your most loved discs that other players might simply refuse.It’s also ideal as an external DACFeaturing a wide range of digital inputs, the 8300CDQ is also perfect for upgrading the sound of your other digital components. With twin optical and coaxial inputs, you can connect up a wide range of products. Hugely improve the sound of your TV and games console or maybe your Blu-ray/DVD player or network streamer. Whatever you hook up gets an instant gain with the ESS DAC providing its magic to all sources.USB input and MQA for Hi-Res musicThe DAC can also be accessed via a USB input. This is the ideal way to connect your PC or laptop and listen to your digital music library. Compatible with many Hi-Res music files, including DSD (Direct Stream Digital), the USB input turns this player into a powerful Hi-Res player. The 8300 CDQ is also compatible with Hi-Res MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) music files. Although studio master quality, the beauty of MQA is that files are small enough to easily stream and dont take up so much storage space on your player.Plus, it’s a pre-amp, tooIf all this digital wizardry weren’t enough, the 8300CDQ even makes for an effective analogue pre-amp, too. Three analogue RCA phono inputs let you connect any devices without a digital output you may have – such as a turntable (with pre-amp built-in), tape deck or other source. With a volume control on the player and remote, simply connect to your choice of power amp or active speakers and you’re ready to go.Quality headphone ampIf you’d rather listen through headphones, then the 8300CDQ has that covered, too. The easily accessible headphone socket is connected to a dedicated, Class-A amplifier. This means there’s enough power for all types of headphones and a smooth, powerful sound that’s an easy match for many basic, stand-alone headphone amps.Fully connectedUSB, four digital and three analogue inputs are just the beginning with this flexible player. Output to your power amp or active speakers can be via regular RCA phono or studio quality, balanced XLR. For digital amplification, such as AV receivers, there’s also the option of outputting the sound via optical or coaxial.Great soundWhatever the source and application, the 8300CDQ is guaranteed to sound impressive. Thanks to its ESS DAC with Hyperstream Modulator, balanced pre-amp design and use of quality components throughout the audio chain, the player always sounds smooth, precise and natural.Sleek, minimalist designFinished to the highest standards, the 8300CDQ uses a blasted a aluminium front panel and CNC routed aluminium control knobs to give a sleek style and quality feel. The crisp display, minimal button count and slot loading also give it a minimalist appeal. Available in black or silver, the 8300CDQ blends well with a wide range of other components.
