{"product_id":"atollmd100evobl","title":"Atoll MD100 Evolution CD Player Midi Format, Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Atoll MD100 Evolution is a CD player in midi format with a genuine TEAC transport and a discrete Class A output stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e32 instead of 44 centimetres wide – that's the whole difference from the full-format world. Nothing is skimped on inside: the transport is a genuine TEAC, centrally mounted and suspended to keep resonance low, and the output stage works discretely in Class A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the MD100 Evolution?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it proves that a small CD player doesn't have to be a cheap CD player. Separate power supplies for the digital and audio sections, around 10,400 µF of filter capacitance, and a Burr-Brown converter with 24-bit\/192 kHz sit inside a chassis nearly twelve centimetres smaller. Visually and formally it matches the MS120 and the MA100 – together the three make a remarkably complete system in very little space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurprisingly quiet for its size. Distortion sits at 0.002 percent, the signal-to-noise ratio at 112 dB(A) – voices stay clean, cymbals don't turn harsh, and the bass doesn't lose itself. Besides the analogue RCA output there's coaxial and Toslink, in case you'd rather convert externally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the MD100 Evolution suited for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor second systems, home offices, bedrooms, and anywhere a full-format player simply doesn't fit – and for anyone building a small but seriously intended chain. \u003cstrong\u003eIn plain terms:\u003c\/strong\u003e it has no digital inputs and can't take an option card either; it's a player, not a converter. There's no headphone jack, and the level is fixed. Anyone running a large system in the living room should reach for the CD100 or CD200 Evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA CD player you don't buy for the numbers, but because it fits exactly where nothing else fits – without sounding like a compromise. Together with the MS120 and MA100, it forms a fully-fledged system on half a shelf.

That means it fits on shelves and sideboards where a 44-centimetre player wouldn't stand a chance. It matches the MS120 and MA100 formally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Atoll MD100 Evolution have a headphone output?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The MD100 Evolution is a pure source with no headphone amp. Its analogue output level is also fixed at 2.0 volts and isn't adjustable – it belongs behind an integrated amplifier or a preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat transport is inside the MD100 Evolution?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA genuine TEAC transport, centrally mounted and suspended to keep resonance low. That's a true audio transport, not a repurposed computer drive – that's what sets it apart from many affordable players in this size class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I connect the MD100 Evolution to a D\/A converter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Besides the analogue RCA output there's a coaxial and an optical digital output. That lets you also use the MD100 Evolution as a pure transport feeding an external converter or an amplifier with a digital input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy the Atoll MD100 Evolution at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause we tell you whether the midi format fits your space and your chain – and whether the step up from your current player is worthwhile.
