About the CD3
The GamuT CD-3 is a meticulously engineered CD player designed to maximize the sonic potential of the Compact Disc format. It features a robust non-magnetic steel chassis that divides the interior into three isolated compartments for power supply, audio signal, and D/A conversion, effectively eliminating noise, distortion, and interference. The player uses a Burr Brown PCM 1792 24-bit DAC with fixed 192kHz upsampling for high-fidelity digital-to-analog conversion. Separate toroidal transformers supply power to the digital and analog sections to minimize interference. Outputs include single-ended RCA and balanced XLR with output levels of 2.15Vrms unbalanced and 4.35Vrms balanced. The CD-3 achieves a signal-to-noise ratio of 124dB balanced and a total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) of less than 0.0009%. It consumes 20 watts of idle power and weighs approximately 15-17 kg. The design emphasizes psychoacoustic component selection for optimal sound quality, and the player reaches peak performance after a 24-hour burn-in period. Dimensions are approximately 16.9 x 4.4 x 16.5 inches (HxWxD).
