The heart of the PLAYER III is a high-end traction-feed drive which is exclusively designed for audio applications. The drive has a high quality and resonance-optimized CD tray in aluminium and is guided by two metal bars. The excellent sounding DA converter used in the PLAYER III works according to the well-established 32/384 upsampling principle. With its classic stylish design and sophisticated technology, the PLAYER III is the perfect companion for our POWER II or the new POWER III. For optimal connectivity, the PLAYER III features balanced outputs for this reason.
