Boulder 1021 NETWORK DISC PLAYER

Boulder 1021 Network Disc Player in superb condition. Two years old.

When the 1021 debuted it was the conclusion of one of the largest undertakings in Boulder’s history: It is the first complete source component from the company. Development lasted for two years and the result completely changes the limits of what a disc player can be, especially since it does not need a disc to make music. Since then it has earned over-the-top praise by owners, dealers, reviewers and other manufacturers from around the world and has justly become the standard by which streaming disc players are measured.

“I can say is that the 1021 is an absolutely superb sounding unit, with superb ergonomics and display capabilities. It provides equally excellent performance with both the oldest, roughest Phillips and Sony CDs in my collection, and from the new 192/24 high-res discs that are coming out from Chesky and Reference Recordings, and the other high-res material you can download by going to HDTracks.

“The Boulder 1021 may be very expensive, but it is both superbly engineered and superb-sounding. Its measured performance is at the current state of the art for high-resolution audio performance, and its ability to retrieve, store, and display the metadata for the CDs it plays is addicting. Its future is really guaranteed, however, by its ability to play data discs carrying high-resolution audio files, whether they be ones you've burned yourself from downloads, or commercial discs from companies like Reference Recordings or Fidelio. Yes, playing such files back from your computer is possible, but computer soundcards that can get the most from files sampled at 176.4kHz and 192kHz are few and far between. F
