Lindemann-audiotechnik Introduces D680 SACD/CD/HDCD Player

Posted by info@audiosonix.net on October 12, 2002 at 19:36:43:
Lindemann-audiotechnik proudly announces the introduction of its acclaimed D680 SACD/CD/HDCD player for the North American market through their official importer, AudioSonix.
Industry Firsts: Lindemann-audiotechnik is proud to say that the D680 is unlike any other player currently on the market, as it boasts the ability to play SACD, CD and HDCD discs all to their highest potential. The player features SACD playback, with all the sonic advantages implicit in the format. Not only that, it plays Red-book audio CDs with Lindemannâ€™s own High Definition Resampling Architecture (HiDRAÂ®) and HDCDâ€™s with 192kHz 24bit re-sampling, an industry first.
HiDRAÂ® is a completely new system, developed by Lindemann-audiotechnik. HiDRAÂ® contains a complete chipset in 192 kHz 24 Bit-Technology (AD 1853 & SRC AD1896). HiDRAÂ® is not afflicted by any jitter problems and enables an incredibly detailed sonic performance with a huge 3-D like soundstage.
The playerâ€™s revolutionary technologies and sonics helped it recently earn a 100% rating in the May 2002 issue of Germanyâ€™s â€˜Stereoâ€™ magazine, a rare achievement by any standard.
Unsurpassed Quality: The player also features Sonyâ€™s top-of-the-line SACD transport decoupled from the framework by polymer blocks, a separate power brick to prevent interference, and a 6mm brushed aluminum faceplate.
Availability: The Lindemann audio-technik D680 retails for $8,999 US and available now. The D680 will be featured at the International CES in Room 2514, January 9-12, 2003.
Highlights:
192kHz 24-bit D/A Conversion
Fully balanced unit with discrete and first class Class-A-output amplifier
Separate power brick to eliminate interference to and isolate the digital circuits
Top-of-the-line Sony-SACD-Transport; the Servo-electronics and drive assembly are decoupled from the player's baseplate with the help of soft polymer blocks and a complex aluminum framework
6mm thick brushed aluminum with laser-inscribed accents
Remote control machined from 2mm thick brushed aluminium
Digital Outputs: Balanced (XLR) and coaxial (RCA)
