Pioneer PD-10AE CD Player sits at the entry-level position in the range with sound reproduction that far-surpasses its rank. The unit benefits from a thick and sturdy chassis front facsia hairline finish 192kHz/24-bit DAC high-accuracy 10ppm clock and an EI transformer with an impressively large capacity. Authentic Pioneer Quality A great solid CD player should not make the common mistake of employing a CD-drive developed for PC or alternative multimedia purposes but not optimised for CDs. Pioneer PD-10AE instead uses the silent drive mechanism which is one of the few authentic CD drives. It was manufactured specifically for reliable low-noise CD sampling and centrally mounted in the torsion-resistant sheet steel chassis. Large-Scale Power Supply Pioneer favours custom-made parts instead of taking the easier route of utilising ready-made solutions and this shows in both the huge-scale power supply and the converter board employing the contemporary AKM-DAC 4482VT and ultra-precise clock pulse which is a minimal 10ppm deviation. These are all ideal considerations for reproducing an accurately focused life-like sound.
