Quad Platinum DMP Digital Media Player

Quad has always stood for solid engineering to give the best sound quality through innovation. Through a long history of ground breaking products it has brought the music to the most discerning customers. The Platinum Series represents an evolution of the QUAD ethic and offers a superior standard of high-fidelity reproduction. In order to achieve this goal we have introduced a number of new technologies and implemented them to further refine some of those for which we are already famed.
The result is a range of products, each one with a bottom-up design approach, not only to accurately reproduce the harmonic and dynamic structure of live music and provide a state-of-the-art performance, but also to re-create the sense of presence, at the recording venue.
The Platinum DMP Digital Media Player/ Pre-amplifier represents Quad's staggering achievement in digital audio and places it beside renowned high-end electronics on both sides of the Atlantic.
The Platinum DMP is Quad's first digital media playback centre featuring 24-bit/192 kHz Delta Sigma I/V conversion. It has ample digital input and output connections and a dedicated USB input of asynchronous data processing for jitter free replay of high resolution digital music files. A fully balanced pre-amplifier is built in, enabling direct connection to its partnering Platinum Stereo or Mono power amplifiers.
