Best of Three Worlds
The best of threee worlds come together in a phenomenal package with the Sony SCD-C2000ES. This incredible CD Changer combines 5.1 Channel SACD Surround Sound, Sony ES Quality and 5-disc carousel convenience to give you access to the entertainment you deserve. The Super Audio CD format delivers a true-to-life listening experience, out-performing standard CD audio by leaps and proverbial bounds. Exceptional audio accuracy is delivered to your ears from multiple angles via 6 discrete channels of High-Resolution audio. Couple this with built-in bass management and channel level adjustment, and you can tailor the audio to meet and surpass your audio desires.
Let's Talk Features
There isn't any single feature that sets a product above it's competition, but rather a series of consistently superior characteristics. The SCD-C2000ES uses a Super Audio D/A Converter, which allows higher quality sound reproduction. Super Audio CD uses DSD encoding (compared to PCM used for CD/MiniDisc/DVD-Audio/DVD-Video etc.). DSD uses a sampling frequency 64 times higher than conventional CD (2,822,400 samples per second) and 1-bit quantization. This achieves a wide frequency range and a wide dynamic range across the audible frequency range, thereby providing musical reproduction extremely faithful to the original. Because of the significant difference in the laser wavelength between SACD (650 nm) and CD (780 nm), this unit is equipped with a discrete dual laser optical pickup- two independent lasers working through a common lens. One laser is exclusively for CD, CD-R and CD-RW, while the other laser delivers uncompromised reproduction of SACD.
Managing Multiple Channels? No Problem!
In the SCD-C2000ES, the Multi-channel Management Function (SACD only) uses Digital Signal Processing to allow you to set up the unit according to the presence and size of your speakers and the distance from your listening position (3 to 23 feet in 1 foot increments). For multi-channel playback mode, speakers designated as "Large" will be sent full-range audio, while speakers designated as "Small" will receive signals that have been filtered to remove low bass frequencies. For proper channel balance during multi-channel playback, the center, surround and subwoofer channel output levels may be adjusted at the unit or with the remote. If you have an ideal speaker output, you can select MCH Direct, which bypasses the DSP circuit, and outputs the signal directly from each speaker at a non-adjustable level. For 2-channel playback, you can select 2CH Direct (2 speakers/no subwoofer) or 2CH + SW (2 speakers with subwoofer). As you can see, the SCD-C2000ES gives you the capability to control the audio you receive, fine tuning the system and delivery mode just the way you want it.
