Unison Research Unico CD Uno Black CD Player

Product Description

The Unico CD Uno is a full-feature CD player DAC & Bluetooth receiver heavily inspired by the flagship Unico CD Due to offer stunning sound for any high-end digital audio aficionado. The DAC portion of the CD Uno is equipped with USB (Universal Serial Bus) & Toslink inputs which each route through the built-in ESS Sabre ES9018K2M DAC chip & high-quality IV inverter stage featuring a Texas Instruments NE5532AD. The USB (Universal Serial Bus) input of the CD Uno uses a latest-generation D/A converter to manage signals up to 384k Hz PCM & 112896 M Hz DSD which effectively covers you for almost every format & sampling rate currently available. The Optical input handles up-to 24-bit/96k Hz PCM signals allowing another high-quality source to be connected with ease. The CD Unos Bluetooth functionality allows for wireless streaming from any Bluetooth-enabled smart device. Set-up is simple & the integrated aerial avoids the need for any unsightly appendages attached to the back panel. Similarly the CD player section uses a premium mechanism & sleek drawer-loading system to neatly integrate into the CD Unos imposing facade. Internally the CD mechanism is shielded by a thick metal cover to avoid interference. What helps the CD Uno stand apart from its competitors is not just its feature set but its rich enveloping sound; which owes much of its expression to the valve output stage. The valve stage benefits from Unison Researchs unrivalled knowledge of tube technology. The audio stage uses one 12AU7//ECC82 double triode operating in pure class A followed by a solid state discrete buffer still operating in class A for a low impedance output & ideal audio behaviour. To assist in this sound presentation the internal circuitry is designed to separate the digital portion from the analogue. The Unico CD Uno makes controlling all its features easy via the supplied RC2 system remote & its 128x 64 OLED screen. The screen offers excellent visibility in all lighting conditions & can even be switched off during use. Critical information is displayed on the screen in large fonts & active features are displayed in smaller text. So its through the screen that you can also tailor the sound performance to suit. With three switchable filters & even the option to bypass the valves with a "solid-state" output buffer – the CD Uno can suit any high-end system or sound preference. Enjoy your digital audio like never before with CD Uno.
