A CD player is a CD player, right? Just reading the same ones and zeroes? Not exactly.
Sure, the source information remains the same, but what happens after the laser hits the disc is another story. A system is only as good as its weakest link, and the best amplifier and speakers in the world will still fall short if they're getting a noisy, lifeless signal from a noisy, lifeless CD player.
Audiophile quality CD players usually fall into a price range that keeps them on the wish list of many audio lovers, but not in their audio racks. We'd like to change that with our own ERC-1, a distinctive, dedicated CD player that goes back to the basics of clear, detailed, lifelike sound reproduction.
No stone was left unturned in striving to create a player that is superior in every way. Separate, shielded power supplies for the CD carriage, display, and digital and analog sections ensure noiseless operation. Using Analog Devices 1955 DAC, with 384k oversampling, and 1V rms (7V peak for extended dynamics), the ERC-1 will be your guide to rediscovering your CD collection and your love for music. Even the look of the ERC-1 will turn heads, with a sleek faceplate that features a halo-lit slot load mechanism.
If you're wondering what the missing piece to finding your audio nirvana could be, you might consider starting at the source - your CD player. Gives those ones and zeroes a little respect.
