CDD-1 CD-Player and DAC

We have combined a creamy summation of all the best technological breakthroughs stemming from the developments in the CD's 40 year history, and in addition included a couple of innovations we are proud to have made specifically for this groundbreaking DAC/CD drive.

Digital to Analog Converter

Especially highlighted is the true 24bit/192kHz digital inputs via USB or Coaxial connector, that enables a sonic performance vastly above that of any CD. Use the CDD-1 as a digital connection point for your computer, iPad and streaming devices and it will give you a stunning performance with effortless soundstage and musical details in return.

CD Transport

The CDD-1 will also play ordinary CDs, retrieving all the fine details of your music collection through the professionally specified and widely acclaimed Philips CDpro2 mechanism.

Bespoke Cover

As standard we offer top covers in high gloss black, white and real walnut veneer to match the finish of our loudspeakers. But what if you prefer to have your CDD-1 match another brand of speakers or a piece of furniture or the color of your Lamborghini? Gato Audio offer to make bespoke top covers for you. It could be special painted covers or covers made from solid wood. Contact us at hello@gato-audio.com and tell us what you have in mind.
