The CDP 300 is the first Blacknote CD player made with a double front panel and the innovative extra large alpha numeric display. The CDP 300 is designed around the newest digital devices today available.

The Digital to Analog stage is managed thru customized DACs made by AKM (Japan) and Burr-Brown (Texas Instruments, U.S.A.). The proprietary circuit design of the DAC enable the CDP 300 a real 24 bit resolution with the over-sampling 368 higher than the standard CD players (44,1KHz).

The high quality of the Digital to Analog converters and the Blacknote proprietary circuit design allow to reach a sonic performance hardly available from “standard” CD players. The Clock generator is designed around the Burr-Brown PLL1705 microchip. The PLL1705 is able to generates a very low jitter phase error, one of the lowest today available: 50-12 (50.000 billions of second).

The power supply is made with four different sections and managed thru four dedicated custom transformers. Any transformer supplies the power directly to the Digital Stage, the Analog stage, the Transport and the other CD Player powered stages including the display.

The whole power supply is stabilized and rectified with sophisticated and over dimensioned Current Generators exclusively made by Blacknote.

The extra large alpha numeric display can be customized and switched off during play mode in order to stop working any voltage power dedicated inside the unit.

All the functions and operativity of the CD player are controlled with the latest generation Texas-Instruments microchip programmed with a dedicated software able to manage any eventual necessary future up-grade of the unit.

The Analog Power Supply is managed thru four OP chips singularly powered with a special multi inductive power supply.

The Power supply dedicated to the mother board and the DAC board is decoupled thru two “fused silicon” transformers specially shaped by Analog Device.

The CDP 300 features a sophisticated tube analog output stage based around two 6922 tubes. Such new output stage is a true balanced tube design no-matching any transistor or j-fet in order to get the highest sonic performance.

The transport mechanism is of the drawer type and is designed to achieve the disc rotation stability at its best with a proprietary circuit, the Natural-Speed™ able to manage the speed of the disc down quite as much as an analog turntable.

The Natural-Speed™ also tunes the transport motor in order to virtually erase the generated spinning vibrations.
