EVOLUTION CD5.2
Upsampling CD-Player with tube output
& 7 digital inputs
EVOLUTION CD5.2 in brief
• Tube output stages equipped with ECC83 (12 ax7a), balanced mode
• Regulated high voltage generator independent from AC mains for supply of the tubes
• 2 line outputs (Cinch und XLR)
• 7 digital inputs: 2 x USB (1 x 192/24 asynchronous, 1 x 48/24), 2 x SPDIF coaxial, 2 x SPDIF opt.,
AES/EBU)
• 2 digital outputs (SPDIF coaxial & SPDIF opt.)
• PureCD CD mechanism with slot-in, spring mounted
• Signal processing with up to 192 kHz/24 bit (upsampling rate adjustable from 44,1 kHz/16 bit to 192
kHz/24 bit)
• 2 switchable digital filters (smooth/sharp)
• separated power supplies for CD drive and audio electronic
• Blue graphic display, dimmable
• RC3 included
• Available finishes: Aluminum silver or black, chrome front optional
With the CD5.2 tube out put stages make their debut in the Evolution Line. Sonically the CD5.2 convinces
the listener with the charming and warm sound the tube output stages produce. These balanced output
stages derived from the PA8 thrill the listener with the emotion loaded music reproduction. Also in die
digital domain no expenses were spared and two DACs per channel even work in the digital domain in
balanced mode.
Similar to the CD3.2 the CD5.2 is reduced to the max. Still it offers a large variety of connectivity. All
functions are intuitively operable. The perfectly machined housing is built without visible screws and
comes standard in silver or black. The traditional AVM chrome front is available as an option. Other
customizations are available upon request. The RC 3 is always included.

The CD5.2 offers connectivity in plenty: 2 x USB (1 x 192/24 asynchronous, 1 x 48/24), 2 x SPDIF coaxial,
2 x SPDIF opt. and one AES EBU digital input. The XLR- and cinch outputs use different drivers and may
be operated simultaneous.
Cutting edge technology is applied for the signal processing thruout. Each channel sparks two DACs
operated in balanced mono mode. This way the SNR is optimized to the theoretical maximum. The
upsampling allows switching the output samplerate between 44.1 and 192 kHz and simultaneous allows
the choice between two digital filter characteristics (sharp or smooth). With the upsampling circuit the
master tact is regenerated completely and jitter is kept away from the DACs. The PureCD mechanism is
spring mounted and completely capsuled.
Like all AVM hi-fi components the A5.2 is carefully developed and assembled by our engineers in Malsch,
Germany. Our vendors for housing and electronic parts reside all near-by. This proximity helps us to easily
ensure and maintain superb quality level of the supplied parts for the AVM hi-fi components made of
these.
During the manufacturing process we perform repeatedly numerous tests to insure the absolute quality of
our products. When the assembling is finished and the first inspection is done all units must pass a run in
test in order to prove their reliability. After that a careful final inspection follows before packing & shipping.
All this ensures creating a perfect product from AVM for our customers.
