Why a
CD player in this times of music streaming ? Higher
sonic quality of course, for the discerning music lovers,
and for those with a good collection of great music on CDs.
Experience a rediscovery of music through Neodio digital
playback. Designed for the future too with USB inputs.
"It
is not surprising to find a number of turntable design
principles in Stephane Evan's CD player design. He
explains : 'What is one good quality of a turntable ?
The
care given to the vibration problems from the internal drive
motor, friction, external difficulties and in particular sound
vibrations picked up from air as well as ground which may cause
read errors.
For a CD player, it's the same: the level of vibrations
generated by the motors responsible for the rotation of the
disc, the translation of the carriage-locked diode and the
playhead is large enough to disrupt the entire machine through
complex mechanical and electrical effects.
For
example, the quartz reference clock that manages the digital
information is inherently an element sensitive to vibrations, as
well as ceramic capacitors for decoupling integrated circuits.'
On
the Neodio NR 22 CD Player for example, the work of collection
and dissipation of vibrations begins with a mechanical DVD-ROM
which is sandwiched between sheets of PMMA, aka: Plexiglas, and
a damping material that looks very much like cork ! |

Neodio NR 22 Transport and DAC
All
mechanical and electronics has to take place in a frame
structure which uses several different materials based on
three-legged semi-floating, while the hood is made of a sandwich
of 8 mm thick in three layers."
