EAST SOUND
CD-5E
Excellent high-end CD player
in solid and finest production
Drive: Philips VAM-1202 mounted on a stabilizing 5mm thick aluminum plate.
Converter: Crystal 4390 DAC, highly musical converter with extremely high signal/noise ratio.
TCCO/TCXO: High precision temperature compensated quartz clock oscillator,
Better than 5ppm (part per million) accuracy for a high-resolution and quiet sound.
Clock Distribution System (CDS): Every component that requires the reference clock signal receives
this via an independent signaling pathway. Undesirable signal influences between analogue
and digital circuits are thus avoided.
The precise and clean digital signal at the digital outputs is thanks to the high-precision reference
Oscillator and the clock distribution system are also ideal for using an external high-quality DA converter.
Hand-made toroidal transformer without welding points mounted on 3mm galvanized sheet steel to suppress electromagnetic interference.
Crystal Clear Electric Supply (CCES): Ten independently stabilized power supplies for analogue
and digital signal paths prevent unwanted mutual interference.
Balanced transistor Class-A output stages in the RCA signal path.
Fully balanced output stages in the XLR signal path with the still
the best sounding OpAmps NE-5534!
Sound fine-tuning through 30 different high-end conductor materials of different compositions for the European Edition and the Signature Edition (CARDAS, AMPEX, AUDIOQUEST, TARA LABS, KIMBER, and the very expensive \"SKY\" and \"THE ZERO\").
Gold-plated output jacks: RCA, XLR and Digital RCA.
Heavy aluminum housing with up to 13mm thick plates, 13kg weight.
Sound description:
Over three years of fine-tuning in various high-end systems led to the final sound.
A type of elegant sound that is sought by most audiophiles who want a velvety, colorful, warm sound with precise spatial gradation.
The East Sound CD-E5 European Edition, as well as the CD-E5 Signature Edition, show fantastic detail resolution and a deep, precise bass foundation, the natural, emotionally warm midrange and voice range, the velvety high-frequency range and the correct spatial imaging know how to inspire.
After just a short time of listening to music, the so-called “foot-rocking effect” occurs!
The enormous dynamics, simultaneous calm and audibility of the sound are partly responsible for this...
The sound of the CD-E5 Signature Edition is a shade warmer than that
CD-E5 European Edition, which plays a bit more superficially and directly.
Visually in top condition!
