It is in very good condition and will be supplied in original factory packaging along with remote control, manual, mains cable, USB cable plus our usual three month warranty.\u003cbr\u003e\nRoksan say….\u003cbr\u003e\nThe series consisted of an integrated amplifier, a power amplifier, and a CD player, each designed with precision and attention to detail. The M2 components replaced the original Caspian range, which had been a staple in Roksan’s lineup for over a decade, and the Caspian M1 series, introducing substantial internal improvements. These enhancements pushed the performance boundaries of Roksan’s mainstream electronics, all while maintaining a competitive price. Aesthetically, the M2 components featured a unique blend of materials, with an aluminium die-cast fascia and a stainless-steel top panel. This combination not only gave the M2 a sleek, modern look but also improved its structural integrity. The slim, smooth exterior of the M2 was both stylish and functional, offering a distinctive, attractive design that stood out in the mid-market range. The compact dimensions and refined finish exemplified Roksan’s meticulous craftsmanship.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Caspian M2 CD player was a standout component in the range, praised for its transparency and rhythmic precision. It featured multiple digital outputs, including TOSLINK, S\/PDIF, and AES\/EBU XLR, providing a wealth of connectivity options. The softly suspended CD transport minimised vibrations, ensuring optimal performance by reducing servo mechanism activity. This design choice, alongside the M2’s robust build, contributed to its superior sound quality. The CD player excelled in delivering crisp, dynamic playback, with a particular emphasis on timing and detail retrieval. It was capable of revealing the subtleties in recordings, whether it was Mahler’s intricate symphonic layers or the intimate vocals of Alison Krauss. While it lacked SACD compatibility, the M2’s CD playback was considered among the best in its class, offering a smooth, full-bodied sound that could handle even the most compressed recordings with grace. The Roksan Caspian M2 series was lauded for combining refinement, power, and rhythmic ability, earning awards and praise for its sonic composure and build quality. Its ability to extract the best from recordings, without overly highlighting flaws, made it a top contender in its price range. For those looking for a sophisticated audio experience that bridged the gap between affordability and high-end sound, the Caspian M2 series was an exceptional choice.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\nOperating System: CD digital audio system (CD, CD-R, CD-RW)\u003cbr\u003e\nFrequency Response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz ± 0.2 dB\u003cbr\u003e\nHarmonic Distortion: \u0026lt; 0.0015% @ 0 dB, 1 kHz (Typically 0.0005%); \u0026lt; 0.005% @ - 30 dB, 1 kHz; \u0026lt; 0.01% @ 0 dB, 20 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\nIntermodulation Distortion: \u0026lt; 0.001% @ 0dB (Typically 0.0005%)\u003cbr\u003e\nS\/N Ratio (IHF-A Wtd.): 105 dB\u003cbr\u003e\nWow \u0026amp; Flutter: Quartz precision\u003cbr\u003e\nChannel Separation: \u0026gt; 100 dB @ 1 kHz \u0026gt;100 dB @ 20 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\nAnalogue Voltage: 1.95 Vrms\u003cbr\u003e\nAnalogue Outputs: L\u0026amp;R, RCA Gold plated; L\u0026amp;R Balanced XLR Gold plated\u003cbr\u003e\nDigital Outputs: 75 Ohm Coaxial, RCA Gold plated; 110 Ohm Balanced AES\/EBU; XLR Gold plated; Optical, TOSlink\u003cbr\u003e\nD\/A Conversion: PCM1798 Advance Segment, Audio-Stereo DAC\u003cbr\u003e\nResolution\/Sampling: 24 bits \/ 192 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\nOscillation: 3rd Overtone Oscillation Crystal; Super precision, custom made\u003cbr\u003e\nMechanical Isolation: Main chassis de-coupling feet, custom made; Laser mechanism 2 stage de-coupling\u003cbr\u003e\nJitter: \u0026lt; 130 p sec (Typically \u0026lt; 70 p sec)\u003cbr\u003e\nIdle Pattern: \u0026lt; - 105 dB\u003cbr\u003e\nStop Band Rejection: \u0026lt; - 95 dB\u003cbr\u003e\nPower Supply: x2 high performance low noise toroidal transformers; 12 fully regulated power rails\u003cbr\u003e\nPower Source: 100 V - 120 V 50 Hz \/ 60 Hz; 220 V - 240 V 50 Hz \/ 60 Hz\u003cbr\u003e\nPower Consumption: \u0026lt; 30 W\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 432 (W) x 330 (D) x 80 (H) (including feet) mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 10.0 kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2ndhandhifi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50987191468373,"sku":"0161395","price":795.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/1094\/5365\/files\/IMG_3837-scaled.jpg?v=1750888045","url":"https:\/\/2ndhandhifi.co.uk\/products\/roksan-caspian-m2-cd-player-black-2","provider":"2ndhandhifi.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
