ZENITH CD Player

Zenith represents our current state of the art, the highest expression of our research in digital reproduction.
An absolute reference CD player, where every design choice serves a single purpose: to read and preserve the information on the disc with the highest possible fidelity.
It was created to take digital playback to its highest possible level. Zenith is the natural evolution of our STREAM CD player, refined, reimagined, and pushed further in every direction.
At its core is a completely decoupled architecture.

Inside, a fully decoupled architecture. Each component is developed to its theoretical limit, guided by a design choice that converges toward the perfect sphere, the ideal solid form. It is the most rigid structure, with the fewest modes of vibration according to physics.

The result is a pure spherical geometry, where function and form become reality.
The original reading mechanism remains: an aluminum semi-sphere, elastically suspended. Around it, everything has been reengineered.

The power supply and DAC have been completely redesigned and are now housed in two separate spherical enclosures.
A new chassis ensures total isolation from mechanical and electromagnetic interference. Every internal component is placed within dedicated chambers, where it operates in an environment as controlled and pure as possible.
The result is absolute precision. A level of fidelity that brings listening closer than ever to the original recording.

Available in gray, black, and titanium finishes. Custom paint options are available upon request for those seeking something truly unique.
