-Pioneer PDD9 MK2 Sacd Player

Pioneer is pleased to announce the launch of its five new pure audio components, developed in pursuit of masterful sound quality. The new Pioneer G-Clef PD-D9MK2-K Super Audio CD player, focused on providing accuracy as well as substantial power and stability, the new stereo components achieve the sought-after 'open sound' and ultra-quick responsiveness that bring every detail to life.

Equally true to the 'Pure Audio' philosophy is Pioneer's PD-D9MK2-K Super Audio CD player. With a focus on quick response and open sound, both players are engineered to meet the rigorous sound standards set by the recording professionals at London's famous AIR Studios. The 'open sound' comes from the expertise of professional recording studios. Power supply response is sharply enhanced by integrating the non-feedback power supply circuit and low ESR capacitors with Schottky barrier diodes

Legato Link Conversion PRO quadruples the sampling rate, for minimal phase shift across the entire audio frequency range, resulting in smooth and natural sound, whereas Hi-Bit technology expands the sound data length from 16-bit to 24-bit to provide clear, rich audio even from extremely small signals.

Twin R-Core Transformers in the Pioneer PD-D9MK2-K SACD, in addition, the Pioneer PD-D9MK2-K features a rigid under base construction and TAOC Hi-Carbon composite metal feet, providing added weight, stability and shielding. Direct Construction builds the shortest and simplest signal paths to keep noise and distortion at a minimum. The unique single-chip decoding of the DSD signals reduces the signal path length of the digital circuitry, creating noise-free sound. A crystal oscillator in both players produces extremely stable, low-jitter pulses, allowing it to serve as a precision master clock

The minimal time-axis errors lead to the most accurate reproduction of sound imagery. The Pioneer PD-D9MK2-K's Sampling Rate Converter (SRC) re-samples the audio data and decreases jitter, while Isolated Power Supply Blocks ensure that each section of this player has its own power source, shielding it from electromagnetic interference
