The direct-drive Classic Line 102 CD player has a high-end DA converter of a very sophisticated kind that possesses the salient features of the converter in the 061 CD player. The converter can also be accessed by external devices such as TV set-top boxes or Blu-ray™ players via the integrated digital ports. All incoming digital signals are converted by a sample rate converter to the sampling frequency (96 kHz or 192 kHz) selected by the user.
