NuPrime CDT-10

The CDT-10 is completely redesigned compared to the CDT-8 but they have one thing in common, the laser and the drive itself as it is top class, but everything else is completely new. New circuit with filtering technology borrowed from Evolution, better shielding, more delicate handling of signal, thus finer circuits, minimization of vibration, etc.

Like the CDT-8, it can upsample the signal to 768kHz or DoP256. Outputs: coax, optical, aes/ebu and hdmi i2s.

The NuPrime CDT-10 is the ultimate professional music CD transport with powerful DSP-based decoder that provides all Red Book error-correction capabilities with master-clock control of the entire decoding system, thus lowering jitter significantly. The transport's single speed minimizes vibration and unbalanced discs. A selectable sampling rate converter (SRC) up samples the CD format to a higher sampling rate with ultra-low jitter and distortion.

CDT-10 Design Philosophy & CDT-8 Pro Comparison

CDT-10 extends the exceptional digital design of CDT-8 Pro with enhanced AC noise filter (inherited from Evolution DAC) and power circuit. But to be considered as the ultimate CD transport, CDT-10 design philosophy is to minimize every possible mechanical vibration. The CDT-10 chassis design has similar structural integrity as a submarine (tubular structure with vertical & longitudinal rigidity) evenly distribute vibration. The transport mechanism is further sandwiched with aluminum plates to reduce vibration.
