About the CDP-102

The Classé CDP-102 is a premium two‑channel, single‑disc CD/DVD player that supports CD, DVD‑Video and DVD‑Audio playback, with both balanced (XLR) and single‑ended (RCA) stereo analog outputs. It uses a TEAC DVD‑ROM slot‑loading mechanism for reliable disc handling and incorporates advanced clocking and jitter‑reduction techniques to optimize audio performance. The internal DAC section up‑samples audio to 24‑bit/192kHz and employs a Cirrus Logic CS4398 digital‑to‑analog converter. Supported formats include CD, CD‑R, CD‑RW, DVD Audio & Video, VCD, SVCD, MP3, WMA, AAC, DTS CD, DVD‑R, DVD+R, DVD‑RW and DVD+RW. Control is via a front‑panel touchscreen display and an IR remote, and the player provides multiple digital outputs (AES/EBU on XLR, S/PDIF coaxial on RCA, and optical Toslink), plus composite and S‑Video outputs for basic video monitoring of DVD playback. The chassis is a rigid, all‑aluminum construction with large vibration‑absorbing feet designed to minimize resonance, and the unit measures approximately 17.5" W x 16.5" D x 4.75" H and weighs about 27 lbs. Typical power consumption is 55W.
