The silver disc is going nowhere and here to stay!

CH Precision understands this and has designed and constructed the D1.5 CD/SACD Player for the enthusiasts who enjoy having multiple media sources. The player is built from the ground up and is fitted with a DAC in support as a player, or can be used as a transport when fed into an outboard DAC like the CH precision C1.2 or C10.

The transport mechanism uses a carefully selected optical pick-up and motor that is precisely mounted on a massive brass sled that weighs almost 2.2lbs. This high mass lowers the mechanical resonance frequency of the module by several orders of magnitude lower than in most other transports while ensuring an ideal counter-weight to the torque of the spinning disc. The critical mechanical parts of our proprietary Mechanically Optimized Reading System (MORSe) are built entirely in-house.

Removing or isolating resonance, including low-frequency vibrations originating in the power supply or chassis, is paramount, as it disturbs the accurate tracking of the laser mechanism. For increased stability, the complete tracking module is isolated from the rest of the chassis using four alpha-gel isolators, fine-tuned to filter vibrations down to AC mains frequencies - this prevents vibrations generated by disc spinning from reaching sensitive electronic boards.

Any disc is assured new life with the CH Precision D1.5 CD/SACD Player
