Description
The CD X2 is mid priced CD player developed to have a similar sonics to their more expensive CD X1 but at a lower price.
What they have done:
The CDX1 uses the latest 192kHz 24bit upsampling technology for high resolution. But more than this they have paid attention to the all important output stage of the CD X2 in order to avoid the “mechanical” soul-less presentation that some Cd players have.
You can expect a more musical presentation with more warmth and colour, being very easy to listen to.
Seeking greater stability they decided to use a top loading mechanism to without the “slide out drawer” for improved rigidity. The heavier alloy clamp also acts as a flywheel to improve rotational stability.
Future service and reliability is important to at Icon Audio. they are aware that some CD players have been scrapped early due to lack of spare mechanisms. Therefore they will be keeping a good stock of spare, mechanisms and lasers, being the most common part to fail.
As each CD player is prepared to your order in their factory, they can offer a range of upgrades including, premium and “new old stock” valves, the superb Jensen Copper foil “oil in paper” capacitors. Ask us for a quote.
