About the Acute 4
The EAR Yoshino Ltd. Acute 4 is a dedicated high-end CD/SACD transport designed to be used with the matching EAR Dac 4. It uses the company’s proprietary AcuteLink connection to pass the transport’s digital data directly to the DAC for native DSD processing, avoiding extra digital conversion stages. The unit features a chrome fascia, solid aluminium disc tray, eight front-panel buttons, a vacuum fluorescent display with CD text support, and includes an infrared remote control. It is presented as a transport-only component rather than a standalone player and is intended for premium two-box digital playback systems.
