The D1 CD/SACD player/transport was CH Precision’s first ever product, a multi-channel capable machine that established our now familiar, user configurable, upgradable, card-cage construction. For over a decade, along with the C1 DAC, it has set the standard for high-resolution disc replay, even though, these days the focus for many listeners has switched to file replay.

Yet, with the constant development of new production techniques, materials and even formats, optical disc has never sounded so good. The emergence of SHM discs, UHQCD and now MQA encoded CDs, has given disc replay a significant performance lift and renewed relevance, restoring its position at the pinnacle of digital reproduction, while millions of existing discs still offer superb performance(s).

Time to revisit disc replay – Swiss style. To match improving digital standards we have developed our own, mechanically damped, high-mass MORSe CD/SACD 

transport mechanism. We have revised the optional dual-mono DACs, updating them with our proprietary PEtER spline filter algorithm. We have added MQA compatibility…

Meet the D1.5: same face; same precision engineering and flawless finish; same versatile, configurable, upgradable character; a whole new level of performance!
