CDSA Disc Player

The CDSA is a disc player for CD and stereo SA-CD. While it does play the mulichannel

program of SA-CD discs it only provides 2 channels of analog output. As a unique

feature, the CDSA up-samples any PCM signal to twice the sample rate as it is used on

SA-CD’s before converting it to the analog output.
