The Kora CD140 CD Player combines advanced digital technology with Kora’s unique Square Tube® output stage to redefine CD playback. Designed for audiophiles who demand precision and musicality, it delivers effortless dynamics, impeccable timing, and a truly three-dimensional soundstage. Once the CD signal is read, an AKM upsampler processes it at 768 kHz, moving digital artifacts far beyond the audible range. Every digital clock remains locked to the original CD signal, ensuring time accuracy and musical coherence. A ROHM DAC executes 32-bit / 768 kHz conversion, producing extraordinary clarity and resolution. The Square Tube® stage, powered by stabilized high-voltage supplies, ensures limitless dynamics while maintaining a smooth, natural tonal balance. With its pure analogue output filter, phase integrity is preserved, delivering exceptional depth, imaging, and realism in playback.
