Overview
The PD-301 is a compact CD player that incorporates a tuner that supports FM frequencies and a
USB port that enables playback from USB flash drives.
A slot-in drive mechanism, which has a record of use in professional equipment, is used for the
crucial CD player drive. Not only can you use this unit as a simple high-quality CD player, you can
also use it as a CD transport in combination with a separate D/A converter connected to its coaxial
or optical digital output. In addition, WAV, AAC, MP3 and WMA files can be played back from U SB
flash drives connected to the USB port on the front of the unit. Moreover, the built-in FM tuner
supports RDS.
Furthermore, used in combination with an AI-301DA pre-main amplifier
from the 301 Reference Series, you can create a compact desktop audio
system that allows you to play high-resolution audio from a computer,
listen to FM programming, and even enjoy wireless playback of
high-quality audio from a smartphone or tablet with Bluetooth® that
supports aptX®.
Combine with an AI-301DA and LS-301 speakers to create a compact Hi-Res system
The PD-301 can be combined with an AI-301DA pre-main amplifier (also from the 301 Reference
Series) that has a USB DAC and allows aptX® Bluetooth input. Together they form a compact
high-resolution system that allows USB audio input from a computer and wireless playback from
smartphones and tablets while also supporting CDs and USB flash drives as well as a wide range
of FM frequencies.
■Combine with a UD-301 for a high-precision CD player system
By connecting this model digitally to a UD-301, which is a USB DAC with a dual m ono structure
in the same 301 Reference Series, you can upconv ert the PCM 44.1kHz/16-bit digital data of
your CDs to 192 kHz. By conducting D/A processing after converting to a higher -precision digital
signal, a smoother analog signal can be output.
Furthermore, in addition to RCA unbalanced outputs, the UD-301 has XLR balanced outputs, so
it is possible to incorporate it into a more advanced system with a hi-fi amplifier that has
balanced inputs.

■ A CD player, a USB flash drive playback function and an FM tuner are combined in a
compact format
Slot-in CD drive mechanism that enables quick loading and automatic playback
The CD drive utilizes a compact high-precision slot-in CD
drive mechanism. The drive, which was designed
especially for audio and has a record of being used in
professional equipment, is capable of loading quickly. The
automatic playback function, which automatically starts
playback after a CD is loaded, allows you to enjoy music
soon after inserting the CD into the slot.
Supports playback of MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV files
WAV (USB only), AAC (USB only), MP3 and WMA files can be played
back from USB flash drives and CD-R and CD-RW discs. The song name
and artist can be shown on the unit's display during playback of MP3,
WMA and AAC files.* (Notes: This is only possible when files have ID3
tags.
High-precision digital- audio converter
A Burr-Brown PCM5142 D/A converter, whi ch has an esta bli shed reputation
and is made by Texas Instruments, is used to convert the digital audio
signals read from CDs and USB flash drives to analog.
Coaxial and optical digital outputs also allow digital output of FM broadcasts
In addition to analog outputs, coaxial and optical S/PDIF digital outputs (one each), w hich a re
used widely, are built-in. By connecting an AI-301DA, UD-301 or other component that is
capable of S/PDIF digital input, you can also use this unit as a transport that transmits pure
digital signals. By using a D/A converter that is even higher precision, y ou can enjoy listening to
your favorite CDs with an even higher level of audio quality. Furthermore, audio received with
the FM radio tuner can also be output as S/PDIF digital signals.
(Note: Digital output is at 44.1 kHz/16-bit regardless of the playback format and source.)
FM tuner supports RDS（UK/Europe Model only）
The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows stations to send
additional information along with the regular radio program signal.
Solid aluminum body and compact installation space
Aluminum panels have been used for the exterior. While maintaining
the elegance of a traditionally styled hi-fi component, the all-metal
chassis provides a solid body with excellent vibration control,
minimizing the effect of vibrations on audio quality. With the 501
Series, we advanced the concept of compact high-performance audio
devices that can be placed even on desktops, and we have further
developed this with the 301 Series. The body, which has been
restricted to a width of 215 mm, enables even greater freedom of
placement
●Included remote control with number pad convenient for selecting tracks
A remote control with a number pad that is convenient for selecting tracks is
included.
The AI-301DA remote can also control the basic functions of the PD-301.
