Placement and Initial Setup Placement on top of your audio furniture or on a shelf with at least 6 inches of clearance above the CD-2 will insure that you can access the top loading CD transport mechanism. Placement in a relatively sheltered environment will insure that the CD-2 can operate un-impeded by dust or animals. Because the CD-2 runs cool it can be placed in many system locations without compromise. We do not recommend placing weights or other objects directly on the CD-2.
CD-2 Care and Warnings designed for cleaning Optical Disc player lenses. You can use a small puff of clean air to remove minor dust buildup or just play a CD and the motion of the CD should keep the lens clear of dust. If you are concerned about dust buildup in your environment you can leave a blank CD in place to cover the mechanism when not using the CD-2.

CD-2 Operation as Digital Transport The CD-2 produces a low jitter 24/96 data-stream from any of the 3 digital outputs. 110 ohm AES/EBU balanced, 75 ohm BNC SPDIF or the high speed TOSLINK output can be used as required. Any or all of the outputs can be connected to any digital playback device. scrolling the Volume control level to 0.0 then pressing the Fixed/Variable button IN to the Fixed position.
CD-2 Sample Rate Setting The default 96kHz sample rate setting can be modified by using the remote control. While the 96kHz sample rate is optimum for many applications there are several conditions which may benefit from either the lower 48kHz or higher 192kHz settings. 1) If using the CD-2 with an external DAC that will not accept the 96kHz sample rate then set the CD-2 sample rate to 48kHz.
CD-2 Operation Notes The precision machined and polished turntable axis is designed to center the magnetic puck for stable rotation, minimizing a potential source of low frequency jitter. This axis is polished to prevent scratching of the CD surface because of contact with the axis when placing or removing a CD from the turntable. You can store the magnetic puck either on the top surface of the CD-2 top cover or on the turntable axis when not playing a CD.
