As part of the limited APEX anniversary series for the 30-year milestone, it comes in exclusive black – and incidentally proves that the CD collection on your shelf isn't a legacy burden, but a treasure chest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the ACD APEX?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe special part sits behind the viewing window: the Raytheon 5744 tubes are rugged NOS miniature tubes, originally developed for military applications – long-lived, stable, and sonically exactly what sober digital technology benefits from. They refine both analog outputs, RCA as well as XLR. Conversion is handled by a WM8761 DAC with a linear frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz; the measurements (THD+N 0.005 %, signal-to-noise ratio −106 dBrA) show that no one here confuses warmth with imprecision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBalanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs (both tube-refined, with fixed level), plus optical and coaxial digital outputs, in case you want to run the ACD APEX as a pure transport with an external DAC. The USB connection on the front plays MP3 and FLAC files (16-bit\/44 kHz) from a stick, and the display shows CD text with artist, album and title. The ACD APEX has no headphone output – for headphones, connect them to the amplifier or a dedicated headphone amp. The included REM-19 remote control also operates the APEX amplifiers A8, A10 and A12 – one less remote on the coffee table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the ACD APEX right for – and who isn't it right for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly: the ACD APEX is for anyone who takes their CD collection seriously and wants a sonically and visually matching partner to the APEX amplifiers – but it harmonizes just as well with any other amplifier. If you want to play SACDs or stream high-resolution files from a stick, this isn't for you: the USB input is a nice bonus for 16\/44 format, not a streamer replacement. And because the output level is fixed, it absolutely needs a preamp or an integrated amplifier behind it – it doesn't belong directly connected to a power amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA CD player that doesn't just read the disc, but gives it character – at a fair price and in limited numbers.

This converter has a reputation for a natural, unobtrusive tuning, without the artificial edge of some digital devices.

The AADrive has no built-in D\/A converter and no analogue output — it delivers only a digital signal. Without a DAC behind it, the system stays silent. Which converter suits your chain and your listening taste is something we're happy to discuss with you in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the volume be adjusted at the transport?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The output level is not adjustable — the transport passes on its digital signal unchanged. Volume is set by the converter with level control, or by the amplifier behind it. There's no headphone output either, for the same reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich digital connection should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth routes work well. AES\/EBU at 110 Ω is balanced and less susceptible to interference over longer runs, coaxial at 75 Ω is more common and cheaper.

The tube line stage brings warmth and smoothness to the signal without losing resolution – measured, the preamp's distortion sits below 0.025 % instead of below 0.001 % like its transistor sibling. That small handful of harmonic distortion is exactly the reason some people love tubes in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe digital section is built on a selected ESS9028PRO in double-quad configuration with four converters per channel, and the X-STREAM Engine streams in high resolution up to DSD256 and PCM 384 kHz\/32 bit.

Same power, same connections, same streaming; the difference lies in the Tube Line Stage, which gives the sound a warmer, more organic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the AVM Evolution CS 5.3?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CS 5.3 is for anyone who wants the full feature set of the CS 3.3, plus the unmistakable character of a tube preamp. 2 × 350 watts at 4 Ω (2 × 180 watts at 8 Ω) drive even large floorstanding speakers with ease, and via outputs A and B you can even run two pairs. The tube line stage adds warmth and smoothness to the signal without losing resolution – measured, the preamp's distortion sits below 0.025% instead of below 0.001% as on its transistor sibling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe digital section is built around a selected ESS9028PRO in a double-quad configuration with four converters per channel; the X-STREAM Engine streams high-resolution audio up to DSD256 and PCM 384 kHz\/32-bit. The phono stage is calibratable, just as on the CS 3.3, and the tube's illumination can be set to blue or red from the menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, HighResAudio and Roon work directly, with AirPlay 2 and internet radio built in – no subscription required. On top of that: a balanced XLR input and three RCA inputs, HDMI ARC for your TV, coaxial and optical digital inputs, a slot-in CD drive, USB-A for storage media, Bluetooth 5.0 and a headphone output on the front. It's controlled via the free RC X app; a wireless remote (RC 3 \/ RC 8 or RC 9 \/ RC 10) is available as an accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Evolution CS 5.3 right for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLet's be honest: the CS 5.3 is for listeners who consciously seek the warmer, slightly rounder tube sound and are happy to spend a bit more for it. If you prefer an absolutely neutral sound, the more affordable Evolution CS 3.3 serves you just as well – you gain no extra power with the 5.3, both models are equally strong. And for small rooms, the compact Inspiration CS 2.3 remains the leaner choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilver, tube, CD slot: the CS 5.3 is the understated version with the warmest sound in the line-up.

A streaming service is an option here, not a condition – CD, vinyl and internet radio also play without a subscription. On top of that, a switchable phono input for MM and MC cartridges – so you won't need an external phono stage. The two Audition CB 2.3 are compact 2-way bookshelf speakers with a 160 mm sandwich-cone woofer and a 30 mm fabric dome tweeter, whose bass reflex port sits on the rear – so they need some breathing room from the wall.

If you'd like a remote, add the RC 3 with infrared or the RC 9 with colour display as an accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect a turntable to this set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The Inspiration CS 2.3 has a phono input, switchable between MM at 40 dB and MC at 60 dB. So a turntable can be connected directly, with no external phono stage. You set the loading impedance for MC via the included RCA plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow big and heavy are the Audition CB 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompact: the cabinet measures 170 × 285 × 220 millimetres, the projecting front baffle 220 × 330 millimetres, and each speaker weighs 4.5 kilograms according to AVM. That means they fit on narrow stands and on a shelf. An adjustable foot on the rear tilts them to ear height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow far do the Audition CB 2.3 need to be from the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA little, since the bass reflex port sits on the rear. Too close to the wall and the bass turns thick; too free in the room and it can sound a bit thin. A few centimetres of clearance is usually enough – we're happy to discuss the exact placement based on your floor plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference from the set with the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CS 2.3 additionally has an integrated slot-in CD drive, the AS 2.3 doesn't. Both come with the phono input (MM\/MC) and full streaming. If you play CDs, go for the CS 2.3 set; pure streamers and vinyl listeners do better with the AS 2.3 set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Inspiration CS 2.3 + Audition set from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a complete system should fit your room and your listening habits – we advise from real-world experience.

CD, vinyl, streaming and TV sound all run through one system. The chrome-plated, hand-polished front panel turns the electronics into a showpiece; the chassis behind it stays aluminium in silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy as a set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause amplifier and speakers come from the same manufacturer and are matched to each other – no hunting for components, no datasheet Tetris. Just 34 centimetres of slim, screwless electronics plus two compact speakers add up to a full-fledged stereo system with CD, streaming and turntable connection, without a gear tower or cable clutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AVM Inspiration CS 2.3 is the compact all-in-one with everything that counts: 2 × 140 watts into 4 ohms from a Class D power amp, an ESS Sabre 9038 Q2M as converter, a slot-in CD drive and the in-house X-STREAM Engine with AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz (our Hi-Fi partner since 2018), HighResAudio, internet radio, Bluetooth and HDMI ARC for your TV. A paid streaming subscription is never a requirement – CD, vinyl and internet radio work just as well without one. On top of that, a switchable phono input for MM and MC cartridges that makes an external phono stage unnecessary. The two Audition CB 2.3 are compact 2-way bookshelf speakers with a 160 mm sandwich-cone woofer and a 30 mm fabric dome tweeter; their bass reflex port sits on the rear, so they like a little breathing room from the wall. At a light 4.5 kilograms each, they find their place equally well on stands or a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is this set right for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal as a full-fledged complete system for small to medium living rooms – with a CD drive and phono input, it covers disc and vinyl equally well. Straight talk: you don't buy Cellini Chrome out of reason, but because the look is worth something to you – technically the electronics are identical to Black and Silver. If you never load a CD, the set built around the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 without a drive is cheaper.

A complete stereo system for CD, streaming and vinyl – all that's missing is speaker cable and your music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a remote control included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. AVM ships the CS 2.3 without a hardware remote; it's controlled via the free RC X app for iOS and Android. If you'd like a remote, add the RC 3 with infrared or the RC 9 with colour display as an accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the Cellini Chrome finish mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCellini is AVM's refinement with a solid, chrome-plated, hand-polished front panel in place of the brushed aluminium fascia. The chassis behind it stays silver aluminium. Technically, the CS 2.3 is identical to the Black and Silver finishes – you choose by looks, not by sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect a turntable to this set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The Inspiration CS 2.3 has a phono input, switchable between MM at 40 dB and MC at 60 dB. So a turntable can be connected directly, with no external phono stage. You set the loading impedance for MC via the included RCA plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow big and heavy are the Audition CB 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompact: the cabinet measures 170 × 285 × 220 millimetres, the projecting front baffle 220 × 330 millimetres, and each speaker weighs 4.5 kilograms according to AVM. That means they fit on narrow stands and on a shelf. An adjustable foot on the rear tilts them to ear height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow far do the Audition CB 2.3 need to be from the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA little, since the bass reflex port sits on the rear. Too close to the wall and the bass turns thick; too free in the room and it can sound a bit thin. A few centimetres of clearance is usually enough – we're happy to discuss the exact placement based on your floor plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Inspiration CS 2.3 + Audition set from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a complete system should fit your room and your listening habits – we advise from real-world experience.

CD, vinyl, streaming and TV sound all run through one system. This set comes with the electronics in brushed silver aluminium, AVM's classic finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy buy it as a set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause nothing here is thrown together: the electronics and speakers come from the same manufacturer and are matched to each other – no hunting for components, no datasheet Tetris. 34-centimetre-wide, screwless electronics plus two compact bookshelf speakers add up to a complete stereo system with CD, streaming and vinyl connectivity. No equipment rack required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AVM Inspiration CS 2.3 is the compact all-in-one with everything that counts: 2 × 140 watts at 4 ohms from a Class D power stage, an ESS Sabre 9038 Q2M as converter, a slot-in CD drive and AVM's own X-STREAM Engine with AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz (our Hi-Fi partner since 2018), HighResAudio, internet radio, Bluetooth and HDMI ARC for the TV. A streaming subscription is optional here – CD, vinyl and internet radio need none. Add to that a switchable phono input for MM and MC cartridges, so the turntable can be connected without an extra device. The two Audition CB 2.3 are compact 2-way bookshelf speakers with a 160 mm sandwich-cone woofer and a 30 mm fabric dome tweeter; the bass-reflex port sits on the back, so they benefit from a bit of distance from the wall. At 4.5 kg per speaker, placement stays uncomplicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the set for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal as a full, complete system for small to medium-sized living rooms – with a CD drive and phono input, it covers disc and vinyl equally well. Plain talk: if you never play a CD and stream exclusively, the set built around the drive-less AVM Inspiration AS 2.3 is the more affordable choice. If you already own an amplifier or speakers, buying the components separately makes more sense. And if you want to fill a very large room, consider floorstanding speakers rather than bookshelf models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compact complete system with no compromise on sources: a modern streaming amplifier with CD drive and phono, plus two neatly matched speakers, hand-built in Germany and set up in minutes.

The Inspiration CS 2.3 has a phono input, switchable between MM at 40 dB and MC at 60 dB. So a turntable can be connected directly, without an external phono stage.

That means they fit on narrow stands and on a shelf. An adjustable foot on the rear tilts them to ear height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow far from the wall do the Audition CB 2.3 need to be?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA little, since the bass-reflex port sits on the back. Too close to the wall and the bass gets thick; too free-standing in the room and it can sound a touch lean. A few centimetres of clearance is usually enough – we're happy to discuss the exact placement based on your floor plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference to the set with the AVM Inspiration AS 2.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CS 2.3 additionally has a built-in slot-in CD drive, the AS 2.3 does not. Both come with the phono input (MM\/MC) and full streaming. If you play CDs, choose the CS 2.3 set; pure streamers and vinyl listeners get better value with the AS 2.3 set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the AVM Inspiration CS 2.3 + Audition set at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a complete system should fit your room and your listening habits – and that's advice we give from experience.

The slot-in drive plays your discs, the switchable MM\/MC phono input takes the turntable, and via HDMI ARC the TV sound finally runs through the good system instead of the TV's own tiny speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz and Roon run natively, internet radio is built in – with no subscription required.

A hardware remote isn't included: the RC 3 with infrared and the RC 9 with colour display are accessories, ordered separately. There's no FM or DAB radio tuner, by the way – radio runs over the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Inspiration CS 2.3 for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlain talk: the CS 2.3 is for anyone who wants a full system in a small space – including CD and vinyl, not just streaming. If you need more power for very large rooms, or the calibratable phono stage of the Evolution range, look a class higher. And if you stream exclusively from your phone and never play a disc, you're paying here for a drive you won't use – then the AS 2.3 is the more honest choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CS 2.3 is that rare kind of device that replaces an entire equipment rack without you noticing what's missing once the music starts.

A streaming subscription is optional, not required: CD, vinyl and web radio play with no ongoing cost. Control is via the free RC X app; a hardware remote is not included – the RC 3 with infrared and the RC 9 with colour display are accessories. The CS 2.3 has no FM or DAB tuner; radio comes from the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Inspiration CS 2.3 for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand on heart: you don't buy Cellini Chrom for rational reasons, but because the look is worth something to you. Technically this unit is identical to the black and silver versions. If you need more power for very large rooms, or the calibratable phono stage of the Evolution range, look a class higher. And if you never insert a CD, the drive-less AS 2.3 is the more affordable option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn all-rounder that doesn't feel like a compromise – and in Cellini Chrom doesn't look like a purely functional device either.

The Class D power stage delivers 2 × 140 watts at 4 ohms, the ESS Sabre 9038 Q2M converts up to 384 kHz\/32-bit and DSD256, and the X-STREAM Engine pulls the music from the network.

If you want to fill a very large room with hard-to-drive floorstanding speakers, or need the calibratable phono stage of the Evolution range, look a class higher. And if you never insert a disc, you're paying for a drive here – then the AS 2.3 is the more honest choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilver is AVM's finish that never goes out of style: brushed aluminium, screwless, cleanly made.

The CS 2.3 is controlled via the free RC X app. The RC 3 with infrared and the RC 9 with colour display are accessories and can be ordered any time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Inspiration CS 2.3 play CDs and vinyl?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, both. The slot-in drive reads CD audio and CD-R to Red Book standard, and the built-in phono stage amplifies MM by 40 dB and MC by 60 dB. You set the termination with the included RCA plugs.

It delivers 4.5 volts at 80 ohm output impedance and drives most Hi-Fi headphones with confidence. For very high-impedance models, a dedicated headphone amp can still be worth a look – we'll tell you honestly when that pays off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect my TV?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, via HDMI ARC. That routes the TV sound through your stereo system, and volume and standby can be controlled with the TV's own remote.

The heart is a modular quad DAC up to 384 kHz \/ 32 bit and DSD128, which can be swapped as a plug-in module instead of replacing the whole device. The preamplifier works in pure transistor technology – and, at under 0.001 percent THD, measures even cleaner than the tube model CS 8.3.

The difference lies in the converter loading, component selection, tube type, clock supply, power supplies and finish – not in the wattage figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Black Edition have a phono input?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot internally, no.

The slot-in Pure CD drive from TEAC draws in the disc without a tray and plays CD audio as well as burned CD-R to the Red Book standard. The CD stays an equal source alongside streaming, USB storage, the digital inputs and Bluetooth – with no second device in the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect headphones to the Black Edition?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. On the front sits a 6.3 mm jack with its own Class A headphone amplifier, 15 ohms output impedance and under 0.002 percent THD. A 3.5 mm adapter works without issue. Which headphones suit this device and your taste, we're happy to work out with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes a remote control come with the Black Edition?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The scope of delivery includes the device in the flight case, two Wi-Fi antennas, power cable, gloves and the manual – a handheld remote is not included.

AVM itself describes the 8.3 models as harmonic and spacious, the 6.3 transistor versions as clear and precise – a matter of character, not a ranking. Day to day, the tube reveals itself through one small detail: according to the manual, switch-on takes around 30 seconds longer than with the MP 6.3 because of the warm-up phase. Ahead of it sits the same digital section: a TEAC Pure CD slot-in drive, PCM up to 384 kHz \/ 32 bit and DSD128 via asynchronous, galvanically isolated USB-B, two digital filters and selectable up-\/downsampling. It's built at the AVM factory in Malsch, where the device is listed as a media player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull networking with tube character: Roon Ready, Apple AirPlay, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, HIGHRESAUDIO and UPnP music servers run over LAN or Wi-Fi, web radio and podcasts entirely without a paid subscription. On the digital input side there are two coaxial, two optical, one USB-B and one AES\/EBU connection – six in total, individually counted, and no HDMI. A USB-A socket takes a stick or hard drive. Analogue output continues via XLR and RCA, either fixed or via the device's own control from 0 to 100 dB. Headphones and analogue sources stay out of the picture – there simply are no sockets for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the MP 8.3 suited for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe right choice if you want modern streaming but don't want to miss the tube's warmth at the output. Plain talk: if you listen uncompromisingly neutral, the MP 6.3 saves you money with no loss of function – the equipment is identical apart from the line stage. If you want to bring in vinyl or headphones, you need additional devices either way. Here, sound preference decides, not the spec sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MP 8.3 takes the versatile digital base of the MP 6.3 and gives it character with the 803 T stage.

That's exactly what the R-CD100 is for: a slim, cleanly finished slot-loading drive that matches the 100 Series visually and connects with no setup at all. Plug it in, slide in a CD, and it plays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the R-CD100?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe R-CD100 isn't a generic USB drive – it's built specifically for Ruark's 100 Series. A slot-loading mechanism takes in the CD silently; an optimised CD-servo-to-USB interface passes the signal to the R410, R610, R710 or R810. The actual conversion is handled by the music system's own high-quality DAC – so the CD player delivers the best possible source material, without a second conversion stage getting in the way. The acoustically isolated housing with precision-milled top and bottom plates keeps vibration away from the drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt connects with the supplied USB-C cable – plug and play, USB 2.0\/3.0. As soon as it's connected, \"CD\" appears as an extra source on your Ruark system's display. No configuring, no drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tactile, high-quality way to bring your CD collection back into play – controlled directly from your Ruark system, in the same materials and design language as the rest of the 100 Series.

Add speakers, and the system is complete. No tower of devices, no cable chaos, no afternoon with the manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Maestro Quantum?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it brings the versatility of a large system into a living-room-friendly format – without sonic compromise. The Hypex Class D power stages deliver 2 × 110 W at 8 Ω (2 × 180 W at 4 Ω), while the ESS SABRE converter handles the fine resolution. Sources? Practically everything: CD, vinyl via MM phono, DAB+, FM, internet radio, plus Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, Deezer, Amazon Music, Roon Ready, AirPlay and Chromecast. You control it via the 4-inch colour display, the sonoro app or the remote. Visually typical sonoro: hand-sanded wood housing, laser-cut aluminium front, full-metal knobs – this version in Matte White with a silver front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mature, controlled stereo sound with reserves for demanding speakers. The Class D concept stays clean and cool even at volume, and the ESS SABRE DAC renders voices and detail with precision. The real ace up its sleeve is DIRAC Live room correction: it measures your room and irons out boominess and cancellations – \"sounds okay\" becomes \"sounds the way it was meant to\". With sonoro speakers, matching equalizer presets and the Dynamic Bass function kick in too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Maestro Quantum right for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants a full-fledged, high-quality stereo system but only has room and appetite for a single device – plus a pair of speakers. Ideal if CD collection, turntable and streaming all need to come under one roof. Plain talk: if you already own a separate high-end pre-\/power-amp chain and swap individual components deliberately, you're more flexible with separates – the Maestro Quantum plays to its strength as a complete system.

At 21 centimetres wide, it's the perfect partner for the small Vincent series – and one of the few ways to get tube sound from a silver disc without sacrificing half a rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the CD-200?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CD isn't dead, it's just gotten quieter. If you've got a grown collection sitting on the shelf, you don't need a subscription, you need a transport that takes it seriously. That's exactly what the CD-200 is: the proven Sanyo DA11 transport reliably reads even scratched discs, a Burr-Brown PCM1796 converter handles the digital-to-analogue work cleanly – and then two 6N1 tubes take the last edge off the signal. The result is a sound that doesn't tire you out, even after the third disc of the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnalogue output goes to the amplifier via a stereo RCA output. Digitally, coaxial and optical are on hand – so the CD-200 also works as a pure transport into an external DAC, should you upgrade later. There's also a dedicated headphone output (6.3 mm) up front that drives even higher-impedance headphones. A remote control is included – the same one also operates the SV-200. No network, no app, no account: insert, hit play, done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the CD-200 suited for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly: if you're after SACD, hi-res streaming or a ripper, you're in the wrong place – the CD-200 plays CDs, nothing else. But if you're building a compact system, have no room in the rack for 43-centimetre components, and like the warm tube character, you'll find surprisingly good value for money here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn unassuming specialist that does one thing right.
