About the GCD-575
The Adcom GCD-575 is a 16-bit CD player introduced in 1988. It uses a Philips TDA1541A digital-to-analog converter, a Sony KSS-150A CD mechanism, and provides fixed and variable analog outputs with approximately 100-ohm output impedance. The front-panel volume control adjusts the variable output, which can reach roughly 5.3V and allows the player to drive a power amplifier directly. A coaxial digital output is also provided. Its AFPC (Analog Frequency/Phase Contour) control modifies the tonal balance by reducing the upper-frequency response and slightly boosting frequencies below 1kHz.
