I'm betting a chorus of seraphim will sing most sweetly from this cd player when you're finished.
the output will be Muldorfs
The Murdorf output oil caps
I've bought Technics
4 MASH players ( 2 singles and 2 carousel changers in thrift stores over the last month or so for under 10 bucks each. They all work perfectly, the mechanics are dead quiet, and they sound is beautifully balanced with no listening fatigue issues at all. Seems like a best kept secret.
I wish I had the matching transport (SL-Z1000)! I didn't even know the transport existed back when I bought the DAC on ebay.
The X1000 remembers which input of three was engaged when powered off. Also if the Jitter Free circuit is turned on or off for each input. I believe the battery powers the memory for those selections. Sample rate is automatically detected and set by the DAC itself.
That's a very cool feature and quite ahead of its time. A few years before jitter was given serious consideration in digital design.The Wide/Narrow switch is for the Jitter Free circuit. Narrow is for very low jitter sources. If the circuit cannot lock or stay locked in Narrow than you switch over to the Wide position. I just leave them on wide on the inputs I use. They have no effect when the Jitter Free circuit is not used.
