The original scheme has been revised to improve the musicality and connectivity of those models. The quality of many components has also been improved: PCB with double layer nickel/gold, link capacitors, heat sinks, thermal protection
The CD50 Signature comes in a new metal case with a superb 4mm brushed-aluminium front panel (silver or black)! Of course, this front panel takes the new design of Atoll products. Below the tray, a low power consumption OLED display gives the different playback and range information. On each side, there are 3 control buttons that take over the main functions (play, stop, pause, forward/backward...).
The back panel provides an asymmetrical stereo analogue output, a digital output in S/PDIF coaxial format and a Toslink optical output.
This CD player features TEAC Pure Audio CD mechanics optimized to reduce jitter to a minimum. It is mounted on a central anti-resonant chassis to avoid any vibration that would damage the playback.
The CD50 Signature player is compatible with CD, CD-R, MP3 formats CD-RW, WMA and AAC. It is also compatible with the CD Text if the CD has one.
To limit all interferences, Atoll opted for 4 regulated power supplies, dedicated to analogue and digital. A transformer is used specifically for the audio stages.
