EXIMUS CD10 CD PLAYER & D/A CONVERTER
INTRODUCTION
CAUTION
Thank you for choosing the EXIMUS CD10 from April Music.
The EXIMUS CD10 is a truly innovative design embodying a brand new concept in CD player making that combines the CD transport and D/A converter section in a single chassis. As a unique entry-level model, the CD10 stands out amongst a myriad of relatively affordable CD players. Intended for 2-channel reproduction, the CDA200 will compete favorably against, and even surpass, the performance of the latest available digital formats.
The EXIMUS CD10 is designed to operate at the following line voltages; 117, 230(220), 240 volts AC. This proper voltage is selected through internal
voltage selector switches.
The EXIMUS CD10 is a highly sensitive electronic apparatus. The best performance results will be achieved when used on a leveled, vibration free
shelf system, away from airborne vibration.
The 'Mains' switch is located on the rear panel. The 'Stand-by' switch can be operated manually on the front panel and through the red button of the
remote control. During a normal daily operation use only the 'Stand-by' switch leaving the 'Mains' switch in the 'on' position. The amount of current
draw in the stand by mode is very small while the internal circuitry is maintained at an optimal operating temperature. It is, however, recommended to
turn the 'Mains' switch off or unplug the AC power lead when you plan to leave the house for a prolonged period of time.
Do not open the chassis without prior authorization from the manufacturer or a certified EXIMUS agent. Unauthorized repair or tempering of any type
will void the manufacturer's warranty.

FEATURES
True 192 kHz upsampling
The EXIMUS CD10, utilizes a true 24 Bit/192kHz 'upsampler' DAC chip with Full Balanced Output, resulting in a significantly improved resolution,
dynamics and soundstage of the musical recordings, even with standard 16 Bit/44.
In order to achieve the improvement in sound quality and mechanical reliability, and compared to many other upsampler DAC that use Digital Signal
Processing (DSP) software, the CD10 applies a hardware based upsampling technology to manage the Digital to Analogue conversion process. A
selectable sampling rate switch enables the user to choose between Bypass, 96 kHz or 192 kHz during play. This enables the user to listen to a
variety of different sound reproduction and choose the format most suitable for
1kHz CDs.
each CD, each recording.
Digital Inputs
The digital input section of CD10 consists of 1 Coaxial and 2 Toslink. Connected to any of these three inputs, DVD, LD, MD or any component with
digital output up to 24Bit/96kHz can be upsampled to 24Bit/192kHz.
Power Supply
There are 2 separate toroidal power transformers feeding power to the digital and the analog sections independently. Separate Toroidal
Transformers for analog and digital circuits. Separate Stages of power regulatio
