About the CD2000 MKIV
The Oracle Audio CD2000 MKIV CD transport is engineered as a musical instrument to deliver exceptional audio fidelity and longevity. It features a massive aluminum floating chassis combined with a Delrin decoupling system adapted from Oracle's analog turntables to minimize internal and external vibrations. The design includes unique suspension and disc clamping systems to stabilize the CD during playback, reducing mechanical noise and resonance. The CD2000 MKIV is typically paired with the CD2500 MKIV player, which uses a Burr Brown PCM1792 DAC and four independent analog modules for superior sound quality. The power supply has been totally redesigned for improved realism and dynamics, achieving a sound closer to true analog. The CD2000 MKIV is no longer the latest model but remains a highly regarded transport for audiophiles seeking analog-like sound from digital sources.
