The Musicnote brand has introduced the Musicnote CD-MU8 MK CD player, which has replaced the CD-MU8 model. The new device is based on two flagship ES9038Q2M DAC chips from ESS Technology – one for each channel. The circuit also uses low-noise operational amplifiers OPA2604, which provide significantly better characteristics compared to the widely used LME49720 and OPA2134, and Nichicon KG, KZ capacitors, as well as MUSE capacitors.

Musicnote CD-MU8 MK CD player offers exceptional sound quality, providing outstanding transparency of high frequencies, deep bass and natural delivery of the midrange. The output stage of the Musicnote CD-MU8 MK CD player is made on 6H3 tubes, which provide warmth and naturalness of sound. The component is equipped with a volume control, which allows it to be used with active speakers or a power amplifier.
