QUAD Platina CDT
type: Product
description: Platina CDT The PLATINA series marks a considered evolution in design, application and performance for QUAD. The Platina CDT continues this approach — a digital source component that brings together heritage, precision engineering and a contemporary understanding of system integration. Designed to sit alongside the Platina Integrated and Platina Stream, it completes the system with clarity of purpose and consistency of execution. Overview Bold in proportion yet restrained in expression, the QUAD Platina CDT reflects a design language characterised by balance, symmetry, and control. As with the entire Platina series, the CDT embodies purposeful restraint: clean geometry, refined materials, and an unmistakable QUAD presence. From its tactile machined aluminium controls to the minimalist fascia and disciplined rear panel, this is digital audio crafted with elegant precision. It is a dedicated CD transport, developed without onboard DAC circuitry, allowing it to focus entirely on the accurate retrieval and transmission of digital audio data. When partnered with the Platina Integrated amplifier or an external high-performance DAC, the CDT delivers playback with precision, stability and composure.With the addition of USB HDD playback, the Platina CDT extends beyond compact disc media, offering a flexible digital source for contemporary listening. Engineering Precision At the heart of the Platina CDT is a custom-developed transport mechanism, engineered for smooth operation, stable tracking and consistent error correction.A temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) governs the system clock. Unlike conventional oscillators, which can drift with temperature changes, the TCXO maintains timing accuracy through continuous compensation, ensuring a stable, consistent digital signal.This is no technical footnote: traditional crystal oscillators drift as they warm up, causing subtle frequency shifts and timing errors. These changes degrade the precision of digital signal ou…
