Copland CDA825 Top Loader
The new Top Loader CD player from Copland has employed psycho-acoustic modelling in the development of the upsampling filters which concentrate on eliminating the noise prior to each impulse. Copland chose the Philips CD-pro 2 transport, feeding double Wolfson converters running in dual differential mono mode, with 24bit/192khz processing and a low-jitter master clock. Moreover, the DAC reads its data from a large RAM data memory, in order to eliminate low frequency jitter. The CDA825 also employs a discrete analogue section with both balanced and single-ended outputs.
