The CDT-777 is a premium CD transport designed by Reimyo, built around the Philips CDM-12 Pro optical disc drive and controller. It features a 16-bit linear quantization and 44.1kHz sampling frequency, with a top-loading Philips mechanism and a unique single 75-ohm coaxial digital output designed for use with the Reimyo DAP-999 digital-to-analog converter. The transport is robustly constructed with multiple small transformers to reduce interference, separate voltage regulators for different sections, and a high-quality power supply system. It weighs 14 kg and measures 430(W) x 325(D) x 88(H) mm. The CDT-777 is known for its sonic purity, wide frequency spectrum, and articulate, organic sound reproduction that mimics live performance. It has won multiple awards including Best Product 2009 by High Fidelity Poland and Reference 2009 by Stereo Magazine France. The unit comes with a CD stabilizer, remote control, and spike bases. It is designed to be paired with the DAP-999 DAC for optimal performance, delivering 24-bit K2 digital-to-analog conversion with very low distortion and high signal-to-noise ratio.
