JUST RELEASED: NEW DECWARE TUBE CD PLAYER

This is the Decware modified Tascam professional CD player. It features a single ended triode analog output stage that completely replaces the original analog section of the machine. The Tascam has enjoyed a long reputation with recording studios as the reliable red book CD player and when compared to consumer grade players it easy to see why they don’t break. Huge power supply, steel transport and it even sounds OK stock.

With such a solid platform the unit was an ideal candidate for the extensive tweaking and modifications it got. The actual analog tube output section was based on the success of our previous two players but scratch built especially for this players DAC section. It was good but the proverbial question “could it be better?” drove the R&D through 7 completely different circuits with each one slightly better than the previous and each one carefully voiced at the cost of many late evenings.

The ZCD was designed to be a “real sleeper” and completely untouchable at the price. It’s performance is impressive in all categories but one - imaging. This players imaging and sound stage are highly refined making it absolutely exceptional for those SET purists. The holographic abilities of our amplifiers and speakers are well served by this players presentation.
