REFERENCE CD9



COMPACT DISC PLAYER/DAC



Audio Research introduced its first Reference series CD player in
2005 with the Reference CD7, then evolving into the Reference CD8 in
2008. Both players met with critical acclaim for their musicality and
reproductive accuracy. People still want to play their CDs, but they
also want to add other digital sources such as computer audio to their
music systems, so we created the Reference CD9 CD Player/DAC. It
combines the best of both, a super high-resolution compact disc player
with a super high-resolution digital-to-analog converter that is
stunning in its musicality.




The Reference CD9 incorporates four digital inputs: Asynchronous
USB 2.0HS, AES/EBU, RCA, and Toslink. All inputs handle 24 bit / 192k
resolution. As you would expect, the Reference CD9 retains the Philips
PRO2R transport, still the best dedicated CD mechanism available. It is
simply unsurpassed for compact disc playback. Benefitting from what we
have learned in the development of the Reference DAC and the DSPre, the
REF CD9 utilizes quad 24-bit DACs running in mono mode, with dual master
oscillators; one for 44.1/88.2/176.4 sample rates, the other for
48/96/192kHz sample rates. Sample rate conversion is selectable for all
inputs, allowing playback in native resolution or via upsampling,
including compact disc and—for the first time—the USB input.
Additionally, there is a selectable digital filter, with either fast or
slow rolloff.

On the bench, the bandwidth of the Reference CD9 is
five times that of the CD8, with one tenth of the distortion, greater
dynamic range, and it is also quieter. Like the Reference 5SE, Reference
PH2SE and Reference DAC, the analog section is vacuum-tube, with four
6H30 dual-triodes, and there is vacuum-tube power-supply regulation
featuring a 6550WE with a 6H30. The magic is continued. The front panel
has the familiar, dimmable CD display on the left side. On the right
side there are three vertical rows of LEDs to indicate sampling rate,
input selection, filter and power. In addition to the digital inputs,
the back panel includes Digital Outputs (AES/EBU and BNC), single-ended
RCA and balanced XLR outputs, and a 15A IEC power connector. Due to its
function as a separate DAC, our custom ASIO drivers must be installed in
your computer for use with the USB 2.0HS input.

Sonically, the
Reference CD9 is in a new class, combining the magical musicality of
tubes with new levels of transparency and aliveness. The Reference CD9
sounds “faster” with greater transient speed, improved dynamics from top
to bottom, much greater resolution of inner detail, with a focus and
purity that is captivating. Rhythm, pace and timing are better than
ever, something you must hear to appreciate. It’s time to hear your
music in High Definition®.
