CD192 new addition to the DiVA range
The CD192 is the highest performing CD player in the Arcam DiVA range, offering superior
performance, a greater feature set and better value than has previously been possible in the
DiVA product line. Arcam has been designing and building high performance CD players in its
purpose built factory in the UK since 1986. All of this experience has been pulled together to
make the CD192 the clear “best in class” performer.
Using the design philosophy from Arcam’s highest performing player, the FMJ CD33T, the
CD192 features upsampling technology*. By converting the standard CD digital audio to the
high sample rates and bit depths used by DVD-Audio, some of the sound quality benefits of this
more advanced disc format can now be realised in a standard CD player. Four Wolfson
WM8740 DACs convert the digital data back to the analogue domain, the multiple DACs
averaging out any errors that may be present in individual DAC ICs.
Finally a DC coupled output stage and extremely accurate ultra-low jitter clocking system
ensure a sound quality that is truly remarkable from a conventional CD and sensational at this
price.
The employed upsampling and DAC techniques effectively “upgrade” your CD collection offering
more detail, greater imaging and an overall more emotional portrayal of the music. Experience
the CD192 at your local Arcam dealer from July 2004.
