THETA DIGITAL PEARL CD TRANSPORT
If you are going for separates, this is a good way to start. What we have here is the Theta Digital Pearl CD Transport. Connect it with a decent Digital-to-Analog converter, and you will be amazed. This particular one is in good condition and ready to rock and roll. And it sure looks nice too.
Transports were the next frontier for Theta. Transports made a real, audible difference to the absolute quality level Theta's signal processing could attain. Theta's people searched long and hard to find a CD player that would function as a truly high-quality transport to support Theta's digital signal processors. It seemed a bit of an absurd compromise to urge audiophiles to buy cheap CD players to extract digital signals, but that was the state of affairs for several years. People used whichever CD players had reasonably reliable transport sections and offered a way to pass a signal out of the digital stage. Experiments with numerous CD players showed them to be inadequate for the basic function of providing a clean jitter-free digital signal.
Pearl CD Transport was Theta's lowest cost transport ever, yet offered a lot of the proprietary technology found in earlier, more expensive units. Based on the Pioneer Stable Table, which was an extremely stable transport mechanism, it incorporated jitter reduction circuitry, and multiple high quality power supplies.
Sold as is. Buyer pays for shipping. Cash on delivery in Kuala Lumpur. Brand new would cost you around RM6,800. This one would only be RM2,200.
