Brissiephile Posted December 2, 2023 Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) This is a fine CD player / DAC / Preamp in fully working order with no issues. The DAC in this player is based on well-known ESS Sabre32 9018 chip. New price is $2500 I am the second owner and bought it without the remote control. However, I managed to get an fully compatible aftermarket remote control unit. From Audiolab website: The 8300CD demonstrates a level of fine detail, transparency, soundstage depth, dynamic range and musical flow across all sources. It is both an exceptional CD player and a top-class external DAC/digital preamp, able to make the most of your CD collection. While delivering an enormous sonic boost to external digital audio sources it now extends its resolution to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD compatibility via USB. 8300CD Specifications General Description: CD Player, Digital-to-Analogue Converter Display: POLED 128x64 pixels 2.7" Standby Feature: Yes 12V Trigger Yes CD Mechanism Slot-Loading DSD Compatible Yes (DSD64 / DSD128 / DSD256) Disc Compatibility CD/CDR DAC ESS Sabre32 9018 chip Resolution 32 bits Sampling Frequency Optical,Coaxial, AES: 32kHz - 192kHz USB:32kHz - 384kHz(PCM) / DSD64, DSD128, DSD256 Maximum Sampling Frequency Optical,Coaxial, AES: 192kHz USB: 384kHz (PCM) / 11.2M (DSD256) Digital Input 2 x Coaxial, 2 x Toslink Optical, 1xAES/EBU, 1 x USB for PC USB, Digital Output 1 x Coaxial, 1 x Toslink Optical, 1 x AES Output Voltage 4.2Vrms ±0.1 (Balanced) 2.1Vrms ±0.1 (Unbalanced) Output Impedance 10Ω THD (1kHz 0dB 20Hz - 20kHz A wtd. <0.002% Frequency Response +/-0.2dB 20Hz - 20kHz (± 0.2dB) Signal-to-Noise Ratio (S/N) A wtd RCA:<-98dB ,XLR<-100dB Dynamic Range (A wtd.)
