Yamaha CDX-993 CD Player

Yamaha has decided to move upmarket, with this CDX-993, which features substantial enhancements in most areas. The basic topology, however, remains as before. This is a Bitstream player, using Yamaha's own YAC514 single-bit DAC and Pro-Bit digital filtering. This, in turn, is described as having some of the properties of Pioneer's Legato Link, which is a comparatively gentle digital filter. Enhancements include an integral isolating platform base, plus added shielding around the laser pickup assembly, transport mechanism and circuit board, all with the intention of reducing RF (Radio Frequency) interference. Other enhancements include improved earthing, an upgraded power supply, and a Class A output stage. Minimize
