CD55 CD Player

Thank you for purchasing the CD55 CD Player. When Resolution began design of the CD55, we sought to off er
true high-end performance in a single-box play er . Accordingly, the CD55 utilizes quality components throughout
the unit. F or the CD drive mechanism we selected the Philips P10500, their latest high-end off ering. This mecha­nism has greater reading capability than their previous designs and can also read unfinalized CD-RWs. Digital
filtering is implemented through a custom programmable DSP. Our filter is also HDCD compatible. The digital-to­analog conversion is accomplished by f our Burr-Brown 1704 (96/24) D ACs in a balanced configuration. The D AC
output is then fed to an ultra-low noise analog output stage with analog v olume control. Every aspect of the player
was designed for maximum performance. We are very pleased with the CD55 and hope that you will enjoy
listening to it as much as we do.
