Burmester 089 Top CD Player

The belt-driven CD Player has the advantage of decoupling the laser from the drive motor. As a result, the readout of the CD is significantly higher, because it is not afflicted with electrical jitter. The beltdrive is located in a solid, low-resonance chamber.

Due to its two digital inputs and selectable volume control, the 089 CD Player has an additional preamplifier-function. The digital inputs allow the connection of further external sources. These sources can also benefit from the internal, improved D/A-converter (up to 192kHz/24 bit).

Music is reproduced at its utmost perfection. Like all Burmester components, the D/A converter is designed with balanced circuit technology. The subsequent filter stages and X-Amp2 output stages, are fully balanced without distorting capacitors in the signal path. For the use of the preamplifier function, the 089 CD Player is also equipped with an analog input for the connection of analog sources.

Like the 088 Preamplifier, the 089 CD Player uses X-Amp2 modules for the outputs. These modules, formerly only used in Burmester Reference Line products, are primarily responsible for the extraordinary sound that has been awarded with numerous reference titles in the past.

Features

Belt-drive guarantees ideal data sampling

Drive unit capsuled in solid, low-resonance chamber

Special drive unit construction results in warm, full-bodied sound

Latest D/A-converting technology with selectable sample rate conversion to 96kHz/24bit or 192kHz/24bit for relaxing high-range reproduction (also for external digital sources)

Balanced input and output terminals

2 digital inputs (S/P DIF standard up to 192kHz) for connection of further digital sources: 1x optical LWL, 1x cinch for 75Ohm coaxial cable

1 balanced analog input, XLR 3pol., for the connection of an analog source (e.g. FM Tuner), can be used for cinch via adapter

Balanced processing of analog signal from D/A converter for higher dynamics

Separation of supply voltage for analog and digital circuit parts minimizes influence of digital high frequency on analog output signal

Additional filtering of supply voltage for analog circuit part for undistorted sound experience

Fixed and variable output

Analog volume control in 60 increments for direct connection to power amps (preamp-function)

1 balanced analog output, XLR 3pol.

1 unbalanced analog output, cinch

1 unbalanced analog TAPE output, cinch, for analog tape recordings

Analog outputs equipped with X-Amp2 output modules

Selectable output amplification of analog outputs for adjustment to connected equipment: fix (for connection to preamplifiers or integrated amplifiers) or volume selectable (for connection to power amplifiers or active loudspeakers)
