Description below: CD Transport Digital Drive System Pro (DDS-PRO): The DDS PRO is a two box transport with the power supply being separate of the transport mechanism, controller, and display.
The DDS PRO utilizes the Pioneer Stable Platter system, which requires the disc to be placed label side down, and fully supports the disc over it's surface while spinning.
Separate shielding is done within the transport case to isolate the different stages from one another.
The outboard power supply has 12 separately regulated, low impedance regulator/buffers; in an effort to provided filtered, low noise DC.
Output is via the I2S bus, or S/PDIF data is clocked to an ultra-low jitter master reference oscillator for output with either BNC Coaxial (BNC adapter supplied) or AES/EBU. 1. Read digital data from disc
2. Pass digital data through Cross Interleave Reed-Solomon Code (CIRC) error reduction processor, correct the errors, and remove error correction instructions from data bitstream
3. Reconstruct two channel digital audio into single datastream and deliver it to digital output jack Designed specifically to do one-thing only, spin CDs and retrieves the audio data with perfect precision so you can hear things that you’ve never heard before in tracks you’ve heard 100 times.
Single speed transport meaning it can’t play MP3 or other multi-format discs but will read red book CDs more accurately than any multi-disc players out there due to less jitter. Equipped with Pioneer’s Legendary Stable platter keeps the disc spinning on a solid platform, less chance of CD imbalance during spinning compared to conventional CD transport. CD lens facing down; less chance of collection dust on the lens. Signal is less contaminated due to the lack of built-in DAC and minimal signal path. Less power/noise contamination due to external power supply. And thanks to its all-digital outputs it can be used with a variety of DACs and their inputs.
