About the Capitole 24-192
The Audio Aero Capitole 24-192 CD Player is a premium audio component designed for audiophiles seeking the highest fidelity from their CD collections. It is celebrated for its ability to deliver a natural, analog-like musicality while maintaining exceptional detail and clarity. The player features a top-loading design with a Philips CDM12 transport mechanism, mounted on an MDF platform for vibration control. The digital section uses a 32-bit floating-point SHARC processor for advanced resampling, and the analog-to-digital conversion is handled by an Analog Devices AD1853JRS 24-bit/192kHz DAC. The analog output stage is tube-based, utilizing a subminiature 6021W tube, and offers both single-ended (RCA) and balanced (XLR) outputs. The built-in analog volume control allows direct connection to a power amplifier, potentially eliminating the need for a preamplifier. The player is also equipped with digital inputs and outputs, making it versatile for integration into various audio systems.
