Specifications

Because the CD2 runs cool, it can be placed in
many system locations without compromise. We do
not recommend placing weights or other objects
directly on the CD2. This may scratch or mar the
chassis finish. Do not use harsh chemicals when
cleaning the outside of your CD2.
Placement on top of your furniture or on a shelf with
at least 6 inches of clearance above the CD2 will
ensure that you can access the top loading CD
transport mechanism. Placement in a relatively
sheltered environment will ensure that the CD2 can
operate un-impeded by dust or animals.
The Bel Canto CD2 is designed to recover the digital audio data from a CD error-free and with extremely low jitter:
• Ultra-Clock
TM
architecture recovers the
data with minimal clock jitter
• CD-PRO2 top load mechanism for
quality and longevity
• 24/192 upsampling maximizes dynamic
range potential from inboard DAC
• 4-layer PC board design for superior
signal routing, grounding and power
supply routing
• Outboard regulated power supply
provides firm foundation for multiple
local regulators
• Multi-stage power supplies for precise
power to the sensitive analog circuitry
• 24/192 integrated DAC with 112dB
of dynamic range
• Ultra low noise second stage
independent regulation for the analog
sections
• High speed isolation transformers on
AES and SPDIF digital outputs for
optimum interface to outboard DAC
• Selectable Fixed or Variable analog
outputs can drive amplifier directly
• 4Vrms Balanced and 2Vrms single
ended analog outputs
• Single front panel control for simple
operation
• Comprehensive drive functions available
from full-system remote control
• Ultra-efficient Green Technology design
with 5W operating power dissipation
The sonic performance of the CD2 will begin to stabilize after 100 hours of continuous power up.
