Some CD Players Sound Like Digital Ashtrays
Too much digital audio obsesses itself over accuracy and sacrifices musicality in the process. Before you know it everything sounds excessively detailed, analytically separated, and sterile. Audia Flight CD Three S sounds different. It maintains the sonic interest and musical texture of the recording without sacrificing that insanely detailed sound we’ve come to expect from their players. Instead of wrenching detail out of the music it allows it to naturally present itself as many high-end analog systems breathe life into a room.
This sonics character becomes more apparent with time listening to music. Vocals remain smooth yet articulate, instruments retain their natural weight, and subtle details are revealed without sounding etched. The implementation of the SABRE DAC and Class A analog output stage combine to create a presentation that is musical and effortless instead of razor-sharp and analytical. Music also sounds better on older recordings because harsh mixes won’t be exaggerated by the player.
DESIGNED FOR LISTENERS THAT STILL BUY CDs
There is something ritualistic about playing a CD. Streaming doesn’t tend to offer that same quality time as you sit down to listen. You pick an album you want to hear, sit back, and actually listen to music from start to finish. The Audia Flight CD Three S allows you to do just that while also working effortlessly in the heart of a modern digital system thanks to high-resolution USB and multiple digital inputs.
When you start planning your room with a home theater design tool, source components like the CD Three S help establish the character and tone of a room. Isolated digital inputs, oversized toroidal transformers, upgraded power supply components, and even customizable digital filters are designed with a purpose. They allow the player to perform at its best while giving the end user options to tailor the sound to their room. You don’t realize how much those inputs affect the system until you start swapping out parts. A great CD player can stay in your system for decades, which is why build quality and details matter.
THE CD Three S WAS BUILT TO LAST
The craftsmanship on display here is something you notice the second you pick up the Audia Flight CD Three S. The heavy aluminum chassis is thick, feels substantial in your hands, and the elegant Italian build make it feel less like a shimmy upgrade and more like a component you want to keep for years to come.
