Like any great artist, this unit flawlessly performs with the depth and sensitivity you would expect from one of the best CD/SACD source components available. The 581se offers some of the most advanced features seamlessly integrated into a single chassis. With a newly developed DSD Processing Algorithm, SwiftCurrent 3 Discreet current to voltage conversion, isolated internal power supplies, Clocklink jitter reduction, and weighing in at 48lbs, this component commands center stage in your system. Whith it in your system you are confident that you have finally made it. Now is is just you and your music, no more distractions. You relax and let go, you trust that what you hear is real.

Tradition Meets Innovation
SwiftCurrent(tm) 3 Discreet (SC-3D), developed for our special edition and reference products is now incorporated. The latest version of our superior current to voltage (I/V) conversion technology has been added into our classic Wadia one box solution. Current exiting the DA converters is optimally loaded, in turn allowing each DAC to remain linear. Current is then mirrored and driven with a zero global feedback Class A throughput stage. The output feeds directly into a phase accurate filter that simultaneously creates voltage and removes unwanted high frequency noise. The SC-3D generates 3 independent data streams that drive both the balanced and unbalanced legs of the output stage. A quieter blacker background ensures holographic images will appear, or in other words the sound stage will be rendered in... 3-D.

Pure Power
The CD Player features two new fully balanced shielded toroidal transformers that are electrically, mechanically, and acoustically isolated from other components. New inductor filtering has been added to the digital supply ensuring smooth charging of capacitors and eliminating noise spikes from the ground plain. There is a fully regulated separate power supply for digital processing, clocking, DA conversion, and the output stage. Every performance component is powered by regulated isolated power traces. The result - quiet pure power with lightning speed allowing instantaneous reproduction of transient information.

By the Numbers
A Multi-Format Disc Mechanism modified to allow ClockLink(tm) jitter reduction and pure data capture, this new multi-format mechanism provides state-of-the-art audio information extraction. Patent worthy technologies ensure that data is accurately captured from audio discs regardless of format. The mechanism is further enhanced by a custom mounting and enclosure system that provides both mechanical and electrical isolation. The result, performance surpassing even the highly acclaimed transports featured in previous players.
