MAESTRO CD 192/24 REV2.0: masterpiece!

Maestro CD 192/24 REV2.0 provides circuital solutions with no compromises and features capable to satisfy  advanced users’ demands. We built our CD player with highperformance circuits, 192kHz/24 bit D/A conversion system, function-based and channel-based circuit sections, PC and house-automation systems connection, high-contrast VFD display, optimized output for maximum sound transparency and quality.

Features:
Refined power supply with two transformers (one toroidal) and eight separated set-up sections.
High-performance 192KHz/24bit D/A converter.
Low-jitter, sample-rate converter.
Analogical circuits with separated components.
Highest-quality passive components.
Lowest-tolerance metallic layered resisters (MIL standard).
Low-tolerance, non-polarized polyester/propylene capacitors.
High-speed, low-loss, high capacity electrolytic capacitors and organic-electrolyte, low-capacity electrolytic capacitors.
Multiple source system control: front panel, IR remote control, RS-232 interface. Microcontroller system control.

Which are differences between the Maestro CD 192/24 REV2.0 and its previous revision? Is possible to update a Maestro CD Player 192/24 to the REV2.0? How?

The Maestro CD 192/24 REV2.0 and its previous revision differ for the following aspects: The Rev2.0 has a new CD mechanism the Teac CD5010A a CD ROM based mechanism specificatly developped for high end audio application. It is a very stardy product and from a "sound" point of view its low jitter output has improved the performance of the Player increasing the definition of the listening stage. Of course this is what our listening tests and our testers have said, but we always suggest our customer to test by themself... With the new CD mechanism a new manager software has been developped. The new software can manage the unit better then the previous one, more effectively and quickly. With the REV2.0 a new dispaly has been introduced. Is possibile to update the previous revision of the player to the REV2.0 one replacing the CD mechanism, replacing the front board (mounting the new one with the display) and loading the new software. Usually this procedure is performed by our distributor so, if you are going to do it please contact your dealer.
