High-speed front-loading Compact Disc
drive for ripping CDs
For fast CD ripping, CA X30 uses an optical disc drive (ODD) with 24x high speed.
It can rip a one hour playing time CD in less than 10 minutes
High-quality sound through Burr-Brown HD DAC and isolated power source design
For high-quality sound output, CA X30 features the famous Burr-Brown PCM1792A DAC, TCXO oscillator and isolated power source circuit design for digital and analogue
High resolution (24bit/192Khz) digital output
CA X30 provides three digital outputs, such as TOSLINK, COAXIAL and AES/EBU XLR, which support up to 24bit/192Khz. This means the X30 can be used as an audio server and source device for those wishing to use an existing external amplifier and DAC.
Multiple inputs and outputs for versatile connectivity
CA X30 offers various audio inputs and outputs for connection to other audio devices, as well as a TV. Three digital outputs, two analogue outputs, two digital inputs and two analogue inputs allow high connectivity with multiple devices. And the dual digital inputs mean the CA X30 can be used as a DAC with other digital audio sources.
