About the DA01

The Kyocera DA-01, released around 1983, is a front-loading single-disc CD player made in Japan with wooden side panels. It uses a Toshiba HLPL 030010 / OPH-31 transport and pickup mechanism, along with dual Philips TDA1540D 14-bit DACs, SAA7030, and SAA7020 filter chips. Notable for its linear tracking search function similar to a turntable, it offers excellent audio specs including frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz ±0.5 dB, dynamic range >90 dB, S/N ratio >90 dB (97 dB A-weighted), channel separation >90 dB at 1 kHz, and harmonic distortion <0.005% at 1 kHz. It includes features like programmable tracks, phrase repeat, time search, REV/FF cueing, and LEVEL control for outputs. No longer manufactured, it appears on used markets with recent listings around €599.
