Product Description

The QUAD 3CDT

Core Philosophy: "The Closest Approach"

Quad markets this unit under their long-standing mantra of delivering an unadulterated signal. By removing the DAC and analog stages from the chassis, they eliminate potential electrical noise and interference that can degrade audio quality.

Key Technical Specifications

  • Mechanism: High-precision CD mechanism with a custom-designed servo system for superior tracking and error correction.

  • Clocking: Features a temperature-controlled crystal oscillator (TCXO) to minimize "jitter" (timing errors) in the digital output.
  • Power Supply: Uses a low-noise toroidal transformer with isolated power paths for the motor, laser, and digital processing stages.
