ATC introduced two new system components for high fidelity music reproduction. The CD2 CD player and SIA2-100 2-channel integrated Amp/DAC are designed to work together, driving a high quality passive speaker pair, or individually to upgrade existing sources or amplifiers.
ATC believes that there is still mileage in the humble Compact Disc – now in its 36th year. Although many music lovers increasingly rely on file-based or streamed music systems, they also own large collections of CDs. To provide high quality playback for both media, ATC has decided to offer users the flexibility of a “stand alone” CD player rather than integrate a player within the SIA2-100.
The ATC CD2 Stereo CD Player provides a line-level stereo output on RCA phono sockets, together with true differential left and right outputs on XLR sockets. Digital S/PDIF outputs are available on Toslink and Coaxial outputs. Operation is through 5 push buttons on the front panel, which are duplicated on the ATC remote control handset supplied.
The SIA2-100 integrated amplifier/DAC has been engineered to partner the CD2 as a smartly compact music separates system, and all passive stereo loudspeaker pairs. It is a versatile one-box design for D/A conversion and pre/power amplification duties specified to generate 2x100W (continuous into 8 ohms). The SIA2-100 incorporates 2 pairs of stereo line level inputs on RCA phono sockets, together with a front panel mounted 3.5mm jack socket input (with higher sensitivity, better suited to interfacing with portable audio devices), a digital S/PDIF optical Toslink input, a digital S/PDIF coaxial input on an RCA phono socket, and a USB port for audio streaming. There is a single pair of stereo power amplifier outputs on 4mm binding posts, a stereo line level output on RCA phono sockets, and a front panel mounted headphone output on a TRS 6.35mm jack socket. The headphone amplifier is biased in class A and is specified to drive a range of headphones from 32 to 600 ohms.
Input selection is achieved via a front panel push button, and output volume adjustment is via a precision Alps potentiometer. All SIA2-100 functions are duplicated on the ATC remote control handset supplied.
Both the CD2 and SIA2-100 chassis are constructed to be heavy, rigid and well damped with precision machined 12mm aluminum front panels finished in brushed and anodized “titanium silver.”
