The front-loading Red Book mechanism works with the BlueTiger CD-88 servo system, which handles error correction and jitter; conversion is entrusted to an ESS9018Q2M and the power supply uses a toroidal transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed Book CD-DA tray mechanism with BlueTiger CD-88 servo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eESS9018Q2M D\/A converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.1 V RMS RCA analogue output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoaxial and Toslink optical digital outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLCD display with CD-Text and remote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMetal chassis and aluminium front panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete player or transport for an external DAC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the RCA output, B1xcd uses its own conversion and feeds a line input on the amplifier. From the coaxial or optical outputs it sends the digital signal to a separate converter instead, so the player stays useful even if the system later changes DAC. The choice needs no special settings and depends only on which output is connected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe measurements that matter for a CD player\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusical Fidelity quotes a frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz within 0.2 dB, a signal-to-noise ratio above 112 dB, channel separation above 96 dB and total harmonic distortion below 0.003%. These figures fit a design that prioritises signal purity over accessory features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe partner for B1xi\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB1xcd is designed to sit alongside the B1xi integrated amplifier and complete its system: player and amplifier remain two separate components, each with its own power supply. It nevertheless works with any amplifier that has a line input, and suits anyone with a disc collection they want to play without going through apps or accounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCD system: BlueTiger CD-88\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDAC: ESS9018Q2M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 20 Hz – 20 kHz (−0.2 dB max)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio: above 112 dB · channel separation: above 96 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTotal harmonic distortion: below 0.003% (20 Hz – 20 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRCA analogue output: 2.1 V RMS, 10 kohm impedance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eS\/PDIF digital outputs: 1 RCA coaxial, 1 Toslink optical · USB-C service port\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePower consumption: under 0.5 W in standby, 12 W maximum in operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 430 × 90 × 298 mm including connectors and feet · weight 5.8 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Musical Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58946885615960,"sku":"9120137900781","price":509.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/5278\/7645\/files\/musical-fidelity-b1xcd-vista-frontale-gieeo.jpg?v=1793138265","url":"https:\/\/videosell.it\/en\/products\/musical-fidelity-b1xcd","provider":"Videosell store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
