Beat-440
The B-440 CD Player is Densen's latest and most impressive CD player, with the usual Sillesen magic sprinkled liberally over it's internal workings. The signal comes from the heavily modified CD transport, with external clock control to avoid jitter by using same clock in both sending and receiving end of the datastream. The microprocessor contains Densen's own control software, that controls both CD drive and all functionality including display, link and remote. The CD drive is modified with external clock controller. The DAC is a 24 bit type which is mounted under a shielded box, to avoid digital interference on the analogue stages. Using the Gizmo remote in the listening position the B-420 can have the absolute phase of the signal inverted, so even recordings with wrong phase can be played correct. Soundwise the B-440 is the result of Densen headhoncho Thomas Sillesen's desire to make a CD Player that not only surpasses the current Densen models, but a CD player that will be a benchmark for what can be expected from CD players not only at the price point of the B-440, but also at price points much higher. The B-440 is transparent, dynamic, precise, engaging, musically correct, with a precise soundstage, and the ability to create a sound so good you forget you are "just" listening to a CD Player. |  |
