{"product_id":"pioneer-pd-s801-cd-player","title":"Pioneer PD-S801 CD Player","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere we have a vintage up-market compact disc player from Japanese company Pioneer. This PD-S801 comes in good fully working condition with some light marking to the screen and what we believe to be some handwritten security marking - please see pictures. It will be supplied professionally packaged and comes with our regular three month warranty. Please note there is no remote control with this unit.\u003cbr\u003e\nPioneer Say….\u003cbr\u003e\nTransparency and clarity must be jealously protected for the full enjoyment of digital sound. So for our CD players, we developed three remarkable technologies - two electronic and one mechanical - to make it possible.\u003cbr\u003e\nCompact Discs contain signals representing frequencies up to 20 kHz; frequency signals above this are removed in the digitising process. As a matter of fact, the digital filter used in D\/A conversion systems of conventional CD players is designed to produce an output with flat frequency response up to 20 kHz, with frequencies above that cut sharply. But music actually contains frequencies above 20 kHz.\u003cbr\u003e\nEnter Legato Link Conversion, another Pioneer digital innovation. It features a unique processing method for smoothly extending the frequency response to beyond 20 kHz as the digital signal is converted to analogue. This has resulted in a transfer waveform that contains no unwanted “ringing” with a shape closer to that of the original music. Enjoy the subtle nuances made possible by the added high frequencies - frequencies that bring out the feel of the original music.\u003cbr\u003e\nWith our innovative stable platter mechanism, a disc is set on a platter, with the “music side” facing upward, read by a pickup and rotated by a spindle motor mounted above it. By the moment of inertia added by the platter, the resonance and vibration of the disc are suppressed, and the disc is driven by a more constant torque. The result is a more substantial bass and a higher sense of transparency.\u003cbr\u003e\nConventional D\/A converters are “multi-bit” types, with which zero-crossing distortion and glitches inevitably occur during the D\/A conversion process. A new alternative, a format gaining growing popularity, is the “1-bit” D\/A converter, but they are not without faults, such as jitter due to high clock frequency and the effect of noise shaping. Pioneer successfully developed an exclusive 1-bit D\/A converter that takes advantage of single-bit conversion and yet is devoid of its disadvantages - the High-Speed \u0026amp; High Density Pulseflow D\/A Converter based on our 1-bit DLC (Direct Linear Conversion) concept.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Compact disc digital audio system\u003cbr\u003e\nChannels: 2-channel (stereo)\u003cbr\u003e\nFrequency Response: 2 Hz - 20 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\nSignal to Noise Ratio: 110 dB\u003cbr\u003e\nDynamic Range: 98 dB\u003cbr\u003e\nHarmonic Distortion: 0.0021%\u003cbr\u003e\nOutput Voltage: 2.0 V\u003cbr\u003e\nPower Requirements: AC 220 - 240 V, 50\/60 Hz\u003cbr\u003e\nPower Consumption: 18 W\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 420 (W) x 276 (D) x 135 (H) mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 5.0 kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2ndhandhifi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51193727844693,"sku":"MD8503594","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/1094\/5365\/files\/IMG_5826-scaled.jpg?v=1753886727","url":"https:\/\/2ndhandhifi.co.uk\/products\/pioneer-pd-s801-cd-player","provider":"2ndhandhifi.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
