The Gold Note CD-1000 MkII Deluxe DSD is the kind of disc spinner that makes you question why you ever doubted the CD format. Fed by the Austrian-built JPL-2800 transport — one of the most mechanically stable drawer mechanisms available anywhere — and converted by a Burr-Brown PCM1792A, the sound has an ease and body that streaming rarely matches: bass with real weight, midrange that breathes, and a top end that simply never fatigues. Zero-Clock™ jitter reduction keeps timing tight without scrubbing away the organic textures of a live recording. Add the USB-B input for DSD256 high-res files, balanced XLR outputs for a fully symmetrical signal path, and the option to bolt on Gold Note's own tube output stage — this machine grows with the system around it.

Liner Notes
The CD-1000 MkII Deluxe DSD, housed in a beautiful brushed aluminium chassis, integrates a digital and an analogue stage into a single, elegant device. It is designed to listen to music from a CD as well as to play audio files from a TV or DVD player connected via optical or coaxial input. The CD-1000 MkII delivers a natural, detailed and powerful sound, and can be easily integrated into any Hi-End stereo system. CD-1000 MkII Deluxe DSD supports Gapless playback and is equipped with a top-of-the-range 24bit/192kHz digital converter and digital inputs such as the S/PDIF coaxial and the TOS optical to get the best out of your system. The aluminium JPL-2800 transport mechanism made in Austria by Stream Unlimited is one of the best in the world and ensures maximum stability avoiding fluctuations or loss of definition. The CD-1000 MkII Deluxe DSD integrates our Zero-Clock™ technology which allows for an effective reduction of jitter, and features a digital volume control that can be used to drive directly a power amplifier or active speakers.
The CD-1000 MkII Deluxe DSD is equipped with the integrated DAC Burr-Brown PCM1792A and a USB-B port (supporting up to DSD256 and PCM 32bit/384kHz).
The CD-1000 MkII Deluxe DSD can be paired with external units that allow further improvement of its exceptional audio performance: the TUBE-1012 — class A valve output stages developed with 12 valves — and the PSU-1250 — super inductive external power supply dedicated to the Gold Note series 1000.
