About the CD-50T

The Cayin CD 50T is a high-fidelity CD player and digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed with an aluminum alloy wire-drawing panel and a VFD dynamic display for a luxurious appearance. It uses a professional Burr Brown PCM1792 or PCM1732 chip for digital waveform processing, HDCD decoding, and D/A conversion. The analog audio output circuit employs a 12AU7 vacuum tube as a buffer to provide a warm, mellow sound with reduced digital harshness. It offers optical fiber and coaxial digital outputs, and a low-pass filter circuit using a high-quality audio-specific operational amplifier. The player supports a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz (±0.5dB), a signal-to-noise ratio of 90dB, harmonic distortion below 0.002%, and a dynamic range exceeding 90dB. It operates on AC 220V power, consumes less than 20W, and weighs approximately 7.8kg net. Dimensions are 350mm (W) x 325mm (D) x 94mm (H). The CD 50T is noted for its sweet and soft tube sound character and HDCD playback capability, making it a valued component for audiophiles seeking a warm analog sound from digital sources.
