Audio Aero

These are simply fabulous CD and SACD Players. Utilizing tubes to bring the music to life and a variety of features that add value. The Stars process creating jitter free playback plus analogue inputs in the DAC and Capitole CD Player with volume control and balance you can use the fine passive line stage as your preamplifier.

Prestege SACD Player - This player is dedicated to customers who want to focus on the audio aspect and are looking for a machine offering the best performance in digital and analogue treatment for SACD and CDs. The Prestige SACD player offers the highest quality level and is intended to be the source in a top-of-the -range audio system.

Capitole CD Player - Capitole CD Player 24/192 has been designed with the idea to equal the new digital formats performance. First, we selected the high-end CDPRO2 laser mechanism from Philips for its excellent playback performance, long lifetime, low play noise and long product life cycle. Supported by a specific aluminum suspension, its excellent readability allows recovering a maximum of CD's data. Then, we included the state-of-the-art in digital processing: our exclusive STARS ® process (Solution for Time Abstraction Re Sampling), a combination of very high speed 192 kHz RE-sampling (a new jitter free clock is created), 24 bit re-quantization and signal enhancement techniques (extraction of "hidden" information from 16 bit data, improvement of dynamic, precision, soundstage and details), developed for Audio Aero by Swiss company Anagram Technologies SA. The core of the system is a 32 bit SHARC DSP which, by performing hundred millions of calculations per second, rebuilds a high precision 24/192kHz signal, independent from the input clock, and keeping total dynamic range in all stages. Then, after a 1024 times up-sampling on demand, D/A conversion is performed at 6.144MHz by a high performance 24 bit / 192 kHz DAC. Analogue output stage features sub-miniature tubes and high precision buffer with built-in high quality volume control for a perfect match between high-tech digital treatment and musicality.

Prima DAC Player - Prima D/A Converter 24/192 have been designed with the idea to equal the new digital formats. Therefore, we included the state-of-the-art in digital processing: our exclusive STARS ® process (Solution for Time Abstraction Re Sampling), a combination of very high speed 192 kHz RE-sampling (a new jitter free clock is created), 24 bit re-quantization and signal enhancement techniques (extraction of "hidden" information from 16 bit data, improvement of dynamic, precision, soundstage and details), developed for Audio Aero by Swiss company Anagram Technologies SA. The core of the system is a 32 bit floating point SHARC DSP which, by performing hundred millions of calculations per second, rebuilds a high precision 24/192kHz signal, independent from the input clock, and keeping total dynamic range in all stages. Then, after a 1024 times up-sampling on demand, D/A conversion is performed at 6,144MHz by the latest advanced segments 24 bit / 192 kHz DAC from Burr-Brown. The analogue stage features sub-miniature tubes and high precision buffer and volume control for a perfect match between high-tech digital.

Prima CD Player - When we started designing this CD player, we wanted to offer the best performance from the latest technology components in signal conversion and treatment. First, we chose the musical and reliable Philips VAM1201 and we added a low jitter external clock to enhance its precision. Then, by performing a four time over-sampling (176.4 kHz) and delivering data to the new PCM1739 (24 bit / 192 kHz) DAC from Burr-Brown, digital signal is converted with enhanced resolution, presence and soundstage (16 bit signal treated by a 24 bit DAC), giving analogue-like medium and high. In order to keep and reveal qualities of digital stage, the output stage features two sub-miniature tubes and a high quality buffer. We hope you'll enjoy its qualities as much as we do.
