YBA Passion CD 430

About the Passion CD 430

This top loading CD player features a Philips CD PRO 2 blue diode mechanism, feeding it's data stream to a Cirrus Logic reference DAC. Sounds simple, but YBA pay a lot of attention to getting a great deal of performance out of this basic recipe. Precision casework, carefully designed around the top-loading mechanism to minimise vibration and acoustic ingress, high quality power supplies with lots of local regulation and very careful implementation of the excellent Cirrus Logic digital engine. There is lots of additional flexibility built into the design which allows direct USB input from a PC or MAC,  the drive has CD-R and CD-RW capability, and the selectable digital out means it can all drive an external DAC if required.
