The Kora CD 140 CD Player delivers an unparalleled auditory experience grounded in acoustic integrity. Its advanced engineering ensures that the essence of the recorded sound remains intact, free from the distortions common in digital processing.
At the heart of the Kora CD 140 is AKM’s upsampling technology, which elevates the CD signal to an impressive 768 kHz. This high sampling rate allows for the effective removal of aliasing artifacts and digital noise within the audible frequency range. The synchronization of all digital clocks with the original CD signal ensures that phase coherence is maintained, critical for a true representation of the original recording. The 32-bit conversion facilitated by the ROHM DAC maximizes dynamic range, delivering natural sound with uncompressed amplitude that enhances realism. The pure analogue output filter preserves the essential phase relationships, contributing to a rich, three-dimensional soundstage that accurately places instruments within a well-defined spatial field.
