About the CDSD

The EMM Labs CDSD is a high-end CD/SACD transport and converter that represents the company's commitment to digital audio excellence. Designed by Ed Meitner, the CDSD employs EMM Labs' proprietary Meitner Digital Audio Translator (MDAT) technology to upsample audio signals to DSD format. The unit features discrete dual differential DAC circuitry and aerospace-grade composite laminate circuit boards with microscopically smooth copper traces to minimize signal degradation. The CDSD is used extensively in professional SACD mastering studios and has been the choice of major recording labels and musicians. It can output both optical and BNC connections for DSD or PCM audio formats, with flexible internal or external clock synchronization capabilities. The device exemplifies EMM Labs' philosophy that superior digital audio reproduction depends on advanced algorithms and signal processing rather than mechanical complexity.
