The CD 2.1x/II is-essentially a component upgraded version of the CD1.1x. Better
parts, such as high grade Audio Note tantalum resistors, a few scattered Black
Gate capacitors and Audio Note copper foil output capacitors make for a more
open, detailed and lively performance than the CD-1.1x. The CD 2.1x Mk.II uses
the Philips L1210 mechanism and a simple yet revealing DAC made with the 1543
16 bit multi-bit digital to analogue converter chip. This player, like its bigger
brothers, features no oversampling, no digital or analogue filtering. This makes
for a highly effective sonic combination all housed in a new, smaller chassis
which measures just 91 x 440 x 235 mm (HWD)
The player uses a single 6111WA miniature double triode,
each half of the valve running a different channel. Standard parts as dictated
by it Level One status; Beyschlag resistors, standard electrolytic capacitors,
tin foil output capacitors.
