The updated version of the Atoll CD200 Signature CD-player offers both design changes relative to the previous version and improved sound quality.
The Atoll CD200 Signature is based on the Teac transport mechanism, mounted on an anti-vibration chassis. Digital-to-analog conversion is implemented on the basis of the Burr-Brown PCM1792 chip from Texas Instruments, the DAC has parameters of 24 bits/192 kHz and is equipped with a digital filter with 8x oversampling. The system design uses a differential current output, and the current/voltage converter in it is built on bipolar transistors. The output analog stages of the Atoll CD 200 Signature are built using a differential circuit and operate in pure class A.
To achieve the highest sound parameters, the CD-player is equipped with a linear power supply on a toroidal transformer with a power of 30 W, and the total capacity of the filter capacitors reaches 17,000 μF; seven stabilized voltage sources are used for various functional circuits.
In addition to analog outputs, the commutation arsenal of the Atoll CD200 Signature includes optical and coaxial digital outputs. In addition, the player can be optionally equipped with a module of digital inputs (optical, coaxial, USB) for use as an external DAC.

Magnat has introduced a new line of Signature acoustics, the series includes three models: two floorstanding ones – Signature 809 and 607, as well as a bookshelf Signature 603. The manufacturer assures that each model is ideally combined with the Signature Center Pro, Atmos ATM 202 acoustics and the Omega CS12 subwoofer, which allows using the speakers both in stereo mode and in the format of multi-channel installations for home theater.
Serbian company Soulines has unveiled the Soulines tt9 turntable, which borrows its technical solutions from the flagship Soulines tt42 model. Vibration control was a priority during development, and as a result, the design was calculated using the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio. As a result, the company promises minimal resonance and an open, natural sound.
FiiO has introduced a spectacular portable HD music player FiiO SnowSky Echo Mini – the design of which is inspired by the iconic Sony Walkman cassette players. Moreover, even the control logic and control buttons here coincide with the ancestor. And the color 1.99" IPS display and a resolution of 170 x 320 pixels displays the animation of the playing cassette during playback of digital files.
The British company Origin Live has announced the fifth generation of tonearms for vinyl record turntables Origin Live Mk5. The Origin Live Mk5 tonearm series implements technologies borrowed from more expensive lines, such as a multi-layer counterweight.
The wood-veneered cabinets of the new Wharfedale ASTON bookshelf loudspeakers immediately catch the eye – but “on board” such a strict classic solution is a whole bunch of innovations. The model is equipped with a 6" (150 mm) brand-new Mid/Bass driver with a diffuser made of Carbon Fibre. The driver is mounted in a rigid, cast chassis, which eliminates unwanted resonances as much as possible.
