Zenith represents our current state of the art and embodies the highest expression of Omega Audio Concepts’ research in the field of digital reproduction. It is an absolute reference CD player in which every design choice has been made with the sole purpose of achieving the most faithful reading of the information contained on the disc.

It was born from the desire to bring digital playback to the highest possible level. Zenith is the natural evolution of our STREAM CD player. We have developed a completely decoupled structure. The individual parts have been pushed to their theoretical limits, carved from solid aluminum blocks with CNC machining, resulting in elements with an almost perfectly spherical form. While maintaining the original reading mechanism and shape—a semi-sphere of aluminum elastically suspended—we have improved the internal circuitry. Both the power supply and the DAC have been completely redesigned and are now housed in two separate spheres.

The new chassis ensures total isolation from mechanical and electromagnetic vibrations. All internal components are accommodated in dedicated chambers, where they are themselves both mechanically and electromagnetically isolated, operating as close as possible to clean-room conditions. All of this makes Zenith the zenith of audio reproduction, where listening reaches a level of fidelity never before achieved.

It is the first CDP made by OAC, it represents the milestone, and as its name suggests it contains all the fundamental concepts of our design.

Obtained from blocks of aluminum carved from solid using CNC machines, thus obtaining a very high structural rigidity that allows us to minimize vibrations during disc reading. It is equipped with an external power supply also obtained from a solid aluminum, equipped with three independent power supplies starting from the transformers for the control logic mechanics and digital section.

Top loading with manual slide opening. Remote control via tablet with dedicated app. A proprietary non-magnetic clamp is supplied, capable of embracing the entire surface of the disc, ensuring very high rotation stability through the ground effect.

It is available in gray, black and titanium. Customized paint jobs are available upon request and at an additional cost.
