Transporter lektor polski5/30/2023 For stereo the serial bit frequency must be 64 x the sampling frequency but the CD-Pro8 only does x 48. What's more, the CD-Pro8 mechanism retains the antique 24-bit serial clock for one audio sample which suited 16-bit converters where many modern converters need 32-bit frames. Seriously though, the biggest issue is I²S which lacks standardized pin assignments, logic level and impedance. He thought it unnecessary when his cars were designed to be driven not parked. Maestro Ettore didn't use a radiator fan for example. Omitting certain extras follows the original Bugatti credo. Remaining time mode was necessary only with cheap boring players where you wondered how long you'd have to wait until a CD would end. But certain of the currently unused buttons will activate with the complete player next month. "The Lektor remote is a standardized item with extra controls. To be safe I mentioned it so we can go to sonics. How much this might bother potential buyers if at all I couldn't judge. That's very different from the Denafrips whose remote also works the Lektor with shared Philips code, power on/off excepted. No alternate time, remaining tracks or other info shows. And the only display mode is current track, time elapsed. Random, program, time and display don't work at all. Repeat only works the current track, not entire disc. Use mouse-over loupe function or right-click to open in new tab for full size.įor reasons unknown, Jarek hasn't activated certain remote functions. This is a most inert affair so different from typical bolted-up box construction. Also, the Taiwanese machined aluminium plinth/housing contributes considerable mass and rigidity in a very compact slab. Clearly this design doesn't need an extra soft-sprung suspension by way of viscoelastic supports. The floating transport mech is fully suspended so pushing on it shows considerable give. This particular disc makes for an attractive dust cover. So was a black-faced CD with Ancient Audio logo and a small puck. A full-function metal remote in silver not black was included. … similar to how, in far more opulent guise, Métronome's sister brand Kalista has achieved unforgettable instantly recognizable cosmetics for its luxury top loaders.ĭelivery in a sturdy wood crate with foam braces proved entirely unproblematic if not the last word in unpacking chic. Having shown you previous Lektor incarnations going back well more than a decade, it seems fair to invoke for the core cosmetic iconic status… To learn more means to actually sit in on a lecture. They're being held again in the Ancient Audio auditorium of Krakow's Musiversity. Given Jarek's love of tubes, we should probably expect at least one model with a valve output stage and analog volume control to double as a top-quality preamp. We also appreciate that the Gina Yang packaging already accounts for the extra space an on-board DAC will take up to convert a basic transport to full-fledged player in upcoming iterations. It and all attendant cosmetic details are baked into the Ancient Audio brand and have been very consistent design cues from his very beginnings. The current Lektor Transport is just the first in a new range of Ancient Audio CD players and transports."Īgainst this background we now better appreciate why Jarek held on to his original propeller-head concept of nude top loader. But with so many very good DACs, amplifiers even active speakers with digital inputs today, a basic CD transport can be the perfect choice. "We never offered a pure transport before. Then Stream Unlimited Optical Storage released the CD-Pro8 designed by the same core team who had developed the original CD-Pro2 to significantly improve upon it. "Using excellent Japanese equipment, her small Taiwanese firm is able to create beautifully machined metal assemblies for my new gear. Here finally was my chance to progress from Stone to Metal Age in finer style than I could source anywhere in Europe.
