Silcron Releases MaxConnect CD Player

The feature-rich CD player has been designed for the modern music listener - it includes 2-way Bluetooth, a front-facing 3.5mm stereo headphone connection with 50mW + 50mW at 32Ω, and a high output headphone amplifier delivering the full potential of connected headphones. 

It also utilises the ESS9038Q2M SABRE DAC, which supports low-jitter playback for your CD and USB drive whilst delivering high-resolution 32-bit/384kHz playback. It plays all your favourite CD formats, including CD-DA/MP3/CD-RW. The USB input supports high-resolution music playback from MP3/WMA/APE/WAV/FLAC with sampling rates (PCM) up to 384kz. 

The MaxConnect is equipped with outputs including RCA, XLR, Optical, Coaxial and USB, ensuring compatibility with all your gear and providing longevity so your player can continually be repurposed with future upgrades.

Andrew McGregor, Partner Manager at Audacity Australia, which distributes Silcron in Australia, told StereoNET:

Whilst online streaming represents the major share of music consumption, consumers have been returning to classic formats such as vinyl and their CD collection. We designed the MaxConnect to be as universal as possible, fitting all your home audio gear from speakers, studio monitors and receivers. We've received an increase in consumer feedback of the desire to use all three formats, Vinyl, CD and streaming, so we wanted to design in a small form factor with those customers in mind.

Completed with an elegant silver brushed aluminium finish and a compact half-width design, it offers a convenient form factor and stylish look. The large 5" LED display was selected to ensure visibility from your listening position, making it easy to view track selection using the wireless remote control. The display can show the track number, timer, sample rate, source, or volume. The full function remote enables Play, Stop, Skip, Shuffle single or All, Repeat, and Program.

The Silcron MaxConnect CD Player will be available from October 2024 and will sell for $399 RRP in Australia. It will debut at the upcoming StereoNET Melbourne Hi-Fi & AV Show, Room 1203, October 11-13. Tickets are on sale now.
