This outstanding machine, brings worthwhile performance benefits for users but retains the functionality and straightforward usability of the classic player. The CD5i is designed to be the best in its class, incorporating genuine technological advances to provide a thoroughly enjoyable musical experience. The CD5i's enhanced performance has been derived from a DAC and power supply arrangement, optimisation of the output filter and star grounding pattern, along with upgraded components in key areas of the circuitry. These, combined with the elements such as the low-jitter clock, discrete digital and analogue power supplies, and the unique swing-out disc transport mechanism, deliver a spell-binding performance that is truly in a league of its own. This machine in excellent condition, was bought from Shore Hifi in Takapuna about 4 years ago. It has had only light use during its life.
