SW1X Audio Design™ CDP III Performance Level 3
Compete Digital Player & Streamer
CDP III = DAC III + VDT I/2
CDP is short for Complete Digital Player. Similar to a CD Player, CDP is a SPX version of a SW1X DAC with a VDT Digital Player/Streamer housed in one chassis.
This is a harmonically matched solution for those who are looking to miximise the musical and analogue characteristics of SW1X digital source without the hassle of mismatch stemming from multiple chassis products.
Everything is designed to be UPnP & DLNA ready- just connect & discover the device on your network & control the playback of your music media via touch screen or another device.
