Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note™ CDT One Transport.

Audio Note™ is highly critical of the digital medium as presented by compact disc; we

sincerely hope that you too will find this transport breaks free from the ‘digital mould’

that we are all so accustomed to, and so open a new window on your CD collection.

The CDT One is a considerable upgrade on the CDT Zero, as it has a power supply

almost fully equipped with Black Gate capacitors, plus a custom designed and made

Audio Note™ digital pulse transformer on the digital output.

Please read over this manual carefully in order to obtain the best possible

performance and longevity from your transport.
