{"product_id":"vincent-cd-200-cd-player-silber","title":"Vincent CD-200 CD Player, Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vincent CD-200 is a compact CD player with a tube output stage: two 6N1 tubes refine the converted signal before it reaches the amplifier. 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. In silver, it especially likes standing next to a same-coloured Vincent integrated amplifier from the small series – that makes for a compact system with grown-up sound.

They smooth out the hard edges that many listeners perceive as digital harshness and give vocals a bit more body. The effect is clearly audible but not overbearing – the recording stays the recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the CD-200 as a pure transport?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Via the coaxial or optical digital output, you send the signal to an external DAC and bypass the internal conversion, tubes included. Handy if you add a separate converter later and want to keep the transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I plug headphones in directly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, there's a 6.3 mm headphone output up front with its own volume control. It delivers 160 mW at 300 ohms, driving even higher-impedance models properly. Great for quiet evening listening without even switching on the amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the CD-200 suit my existing amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt pairs with any amplifier that has a free RCA line-level input, so practically anywhere. Visually and sonically it harmonises especially well with the small Vincent series, because size and sound character are matched to each other. Tell us your device and we'll tell you honestly whether it fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Vincent CD-200 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we tell you upfront whether a CD player is even the right upgrade for your chain – or whether your money would go further elsewhere.
