NuPrime CDT-9

NuPrime CDT-9 is a highly precise professional CD transport for music with a powerful DSP-based decoder that provides Red Book error correction features with master clock control of the entire decoding system, significantly reducing jitter. The transport’s fixed speed minimizes vibrations and unbalanced discs. A selectable sample rate converter (SRC) upsamples the CD format to a higher sample rate (up to PCM 24-bit/768kHz and DSD256) with ultra-low jitter and distortion.

The CDT-9 Transport comes with features that typically surpass CD transports in its price range.

High-precision CD playback

• A powerful ARM chip LPC2103F for CD reading, writing, and error correction control
• Philips SAA7824HL high-end laser for reading/writing, main control, and decoding chip for CD transport. The transport and laser assembly is a Sony KHM-313.
• Supports CD-DA, CD-R, CD-RW formats
• Algorithm reduces digital interference resulting in extremely low jitter
• Coaxial output with dedicated isolation transformer
• Low jitter I2S output for professional use

Sample rate converter

• The sample rate for CD playback can be upsampled to PCM and DSD, from 44.1kHz to 768kHz or DoP256
• The conversion is achieved by upsampling to megahertz before down-converting to the target sample rate with ultra-low jitter and distortion

Power and mechanics

• Custom R-type professional transformer with shielding
• Low power consumption in standby mode
• NuPrime vibration-free isolation feet
• High-quality aluminum remote control
• Available in black or silver anodized aluminum finish
• External AC adapter included
