Conversion of the digital data stored on the discs or in the digital music stream into an analogue signal for playback is performed by a quad balanced, eight-channel, 32-bit/192kHz digital-to-analogue Converter (DAC).
Four DAC channels are dedicated to the left audio channel, and four to the right audio channel to ensure exceptional stereo sound reproduction.
The MCD85 employs a two-times read speed allowing data to be stored in a buffer memory for better error correction and tracking.
The tray features a new, custom front bevelled nose to match the angle of the chassis and provides smooth and quiet disc handling.
