The PD-301DAB-X is a combination product in the Reference 301 series that includes a CD player, a USB memory stick player and an FM receiver, and is a versatile digital media gateway system for your existing desktop sound system.
DESCRIPTION
Slot-load CD drive mechanism supporting quick loading and automatic playback
The PD-301DAB-X features a compact, high-precision, slot-load CD drive mechanism that's exclusively designed for professional audio applications. Thanks to its quick loading times and automatic playback function, users can get on with enjoying their music mere moments after inserting a CD into the slot.
Supports MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV formats
Conventional digital audio formats such as MP3 and WMA can be played back from CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW discs. In addition, music files in AAC and WAV formats are also supported when played from a USB flash drive inserted into the front USB port. Usefully, the player can show ID3 tag, song title, and artist name information contained on MP3, WMA, and AAC files on its LC-display.
High-performance 32-bit DAC
The PD-301DAB-X employs a high-performance DAC (digital to analogue converter), the PCM5142 from BurrBrown, for silky smooth audio reproduction.
Robust full-metal body with a small footprint
Employing aluminum panels for the player's front, sides, and top means that the PD-301DAB-X provides unusual rigidity, minimizing the adverse effect of unwanted vibrations on sound quality. And all from a package with a tiny footprint that occupies an area of just 215mm x 232mm (8.5” x 9.1”), allowing users to comfortably locate the unit on the smallest of desktops.
Built-in DAB+/FM Tuner
Unlike most other CD Players, the PD-301DAB-X also features a DAB+/FM Tuner module within its compact cabinet.
Digital audio outputs for all sources, including DAB+/FM
In addition to conventional analogue audio outputs, audio signals from the PD-301DAB-X's built-in DAB+/FM tuner are also delivered from the digital audio outputs, via both the coaxial and optical connectors (of course, these connections also deliver digital audio from CD).
Please note that the digital audio output format is PCM 44.1kHz/16-bit, regardless of the resolution of the original source.
10-key Remote Control
A compact card-type remote control is supplied as standard with the PD-301DAB-X.
