Review Summary
Sound "Where I found the CD5 a truly special player was in its capture of the smallest sonic detail coupled with its handling of low-level dynamics." The CD5 "handled complex orchestral passages without blur or confusion" and preserved "fine detail." "Leading-edge transients in the treble and midrange had a natural quickness and flow, and, despite my listening for it, the top end never sounded goosed." "While the CD5 could not turn a poor performance into a better one, or fix a mediocre recording, many CDs I knew as hard or edgy proved thoroughly listenable through the CD5."
Features "The CD5 is a top-loader that uses a rigid Phillips die-cast laser transport. The newer Pro2M model found in the CD5 can read standard 16/44.1 Red Book CDs, CD-R/RW discs and the CD layer of hybrid SACDs." "The CD5’s circuitry is fully balanced.... [It] sports the new Burr-Brown PCM1792 balanced-output DAC -- the same used in the Reference CD8. Although the PCM1792 chip can handle 24-bit/192kHz playback, the CD5 does not upsample." "Other enhancements include a new FET direct-coupled analog output stage and a new higher-performance circuit-board material."
Use "The CD5 needs a lot of break-in time to reach its full potential" -- Audio Research recommends at least 600 hours. "If I wrote this review based on what I heard before, during and slightly after the 600-hour mark, it would read much differently than it does." "Via balanced connection to the Atma-Sphere MP-1 Mk III, the CD5 played with slightly less noise in my all-balanced system.... In the all-balanced configuration, a faint haze fell away."
Value "The performance I heard from the CD5 told me silver discs hold more information than I previously thought -- and Audio Research has figured out how to deliver it at an honest price." Includes: Original Box and all Packing, Original Owners Manual, Remote and power cord. Magnetic Puck,
