AWARD ACCUSTIC ARTS® PLAYER IV – Our new digital TOP-Loader The PLAYER IV is an absolutely top-class CD player and D/A converter and the successor of the famous PLAYER II – MK2. For the CD module, the new CD Pro-8 as the replacement of the legendary Philips CDPro2 finds application. The important features of the PLAYER IV include 4 digital inputs (XLR, coaxial, optical and USB) and the USB input works according to the latest asynchronous DSD256 technology. The PLAYER IV is not only a top class CD TOP Loader, but also an externally usable D / A converter, which has both a coaxial and an asynchronous USB input for HD audio and DSD. Via these inputs, e.g. a laptop, MAC or PC, but also another digital source device. The heart of the PLAYER IV is the new CD Pro-8 transport, which has been embedded in a massive, resonance-optimized ALU block. The excellent sounding D / A converter used in the PLAYER II works on the sophisticated 32/384 upsampling principle. For optimal connection, the PLAYER IV therefore has symmetrical outputs. PLAYER IV highlights CD-Player and high-quality D/A converter in one unit High precision 32 bit/384 kHz upsampling technology The famous transport CD Pro-8, with outstanding sound characteristics: – Solid metal cast chassis with elaborate mechanical decoupling – Storage of the drive in a solid aluminum housing (so-called subchassis construction principle) – Fixed CD in the drive by means of precise puck with integrated magnet, made of chromed brass Separate D/A conversion function through 4 digital inputs: 2 x coaxial (RCA), 1 x optical and 1 x USB 2.0 (512 asynchronous) Playback of various HD audio data (WAV, FLAC, ALAC, etc.) up to DSD 512 from a PC or laptop via USB interface 2 separate, generously sized power supplies for laser control, digital signal processing, display control and D/A converter section Very high power supply capacity 2 x 25 VA toroidal core transformer of premium quality (“Made in Germany”) for a stable power supply Spatial separation of analog and digital section within the D/A converter for best possible signal-to-noise ratio Resonance minimising metal housing Front panel made of microlized aluminum Now again with a chrome medal on the front panel ACCUSTIC ARTS® remote control ACCUSTIC ARTS® PLAYER IV is guaranteed “Handmade in Germany” .specifications-section { max-width: 1000px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 60px 20px; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; color: #1a1a1a; } .specifications-section hr { border: none; border-top: 1px solid #ddd; margin-bottom: 30px; } .specifications-section h2 { font-size: 28px; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 30px; } .spec-table { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; } .spec-row { display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: flex-start; padding: 12px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f3f3f3; } .spec-row:last-child { border-bottom: none; } .spec-name { flex: 1; font-size: 18px; color: #333; } .spec-value { flex: 0 0 200px; text-align: right; font-weight: 600; color: #000; font-size: 18px; } /* Responsive */ @media (max-width: 768px) { .spec-row { flex-direction: column; align-items: flex-start; } .spec-value { text-align: left; margin-top: 4px; color: #111; } } Specifications CD transport: CD-Pro8 Playable formats: CD, CD-R, CD-RW Analog outputs: 1 x balanced – 2 x 33 Ω (XLR) 1 x unbalanced – 33 Ω (RCA) Digital inputs: 2 x S/P-DIF; coaxial – 75 Ω (RCA) 1 x S/P-DIF; optical 1 x USB 2.0 (asynchronous) 32bit / 384kHz / DSD 512 Input data format: Hi-res audio up to DSD 512 (ALAC, FLAC, AIFF, WAV etc.) D/A converter: 32 bit/384 kHz upsampling technology Distortion (THD + N): 0,0001 % Crosstalk: < 106 dB with digital 0 dB Dimensions (H x W x D) 165 x 482 x 375 mm / 6.5 x 19 x 14.8 inches Weight: approx. 23.0 kg / 50.7 lbs .spec-section { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #000; max-width: 1550px; margin: 40px auto; padding: 0 20px; } .spec-section h2 { font-size: 26px; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 20px; } .producta-features ul { list-style-type: disc; padding-left: 20px; line-height: 1.8; } .producta-note { font-size: 14px; margin-top: 10px; color: #555; } .producta-note a { color: #0073aa; text-decoration: none; } .producta-note a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } .producta-specs { margin-top: 40px; } .spec-table { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px; } .spec-table th, .spec-table td { border-top: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 12px 10px; text-align: left; } .spec-table th { width: 30%; font-weight: 700; } .spec-category { font-weight: 700; font-size: 18px; padding: 15px 10px; background: #f9f9f9; border-top: 2px solid #000; } Media lite PLAYER IV READ MORE
