Music Hall CD35.2 CD Player

$799 ($720 each Shipped)

The cd35.2 is the outstanding sequel to the highly acclaimed cd25.2. In crafting the cd35.2, we opted not to change the solid minimalist style chassis and instead focused our attention on upgrading the key sound producing components; the cd transport, DAC, master clock, and power supply.

The cd transport, the core of the cd35.2, is the ultra-precision Austrian built Stream Unlimited Blue Tiger transport. This scientific-grade transport mechanism used in conjunction with a special designed low-jitter master clock and Burr-Brown PCM 1732 24bit DAC produces a lively natural analog-like sound. The high grade toroidal power transformer and regulated power supplies insure the performance remains consistently exceptional.

The cd35.2 is the perfect complement to Music Hall's a35.2 integrated amplifier. These two components combined offer a remarkable “live music” experience.

•precision Austrian built Stream Unlimited CD 80 transport
•ultra low jitter Burr-Brown PCM 1732 24 bit DAC w/HDCD decoder

Music Hall DAC25.3 Digital to Analog Converter

$595 ($549 each Shipped) Available in Black and Silver

Mark Marcantonio of Tone Audio (say that 10 times fast) discovers the, “…the third dimension…,” while using the dac25.2.

“The dac25.2 tube output brings out the third dimension that gives horns and strings the rich sound quality that goes missing so much of the time with digitally sourced music.”

“Even the 128k streaming from Pandora improved to where I could actually listen without being critical…”

“…the office system never sounded better.”

Full Review

Music Hall significantly upgraded the award winning dac25.2 to the dac25.3. The upgrade was to the USB input which now accepts 24bit/96kHz signals. The dac25.3 is natively compatible with Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000 and Mac OS X.

Today an increasing number of music lovers are buying storing and listening to music through their computer, media server, or personal music player (iPod). Many are also digitally distributing their music using a sonos, squeezebox, or one of a host of digital music distribution systems available on the market. This is a great way to explore and appreciate music but generally it’s done at the expense of sound quality. Until now music lovers have been forced to rely on the inferior digital to analog converters (DACs) and sounds cards contained in those devices. As a result, their musical enjoyment has dramatically suffered. We designed the dac25.3 to directly address this problem and to significantly improve the sound quality of the music played on these systems.

By uniting a state of the art digital to analog converter with a tube output we produce the clarity and precision of a 24bit DAC with the warm rich open sound people love of tubes. The dac25.3 has 4 digital inputs which can accept any coax (s/pdif), optical, XLR (AES/EBU), or USB digital input from an iPod transport, computer, media server, sonos, squeezebox, CD/DVD in stereo transport, or music hall’s own cd35.2 compact disc player, and it will output two channel stereo analog.

The dac25.3 features the latest texas instruments (formerly burr-brown) PCM 1796 24bit/192kHz, advanced segment, stereo audio digital to analog converter. This processor features 123dB dynamic range an 8 x oversampling digital filter and just 0.0005% thd. The dac25.3 upsamples to either 96kHz or 192kHz which is user selectable on the front panel. To achieve the best sound we use an advanced asynchronous reclocking and anti jitter control system upstream of the PCM 1796 DAC. For this system we are using the philips 74HC574 in conjunction with the ti SRC4192 asynchronous sample rate converter whose master clock is a high precision active crystal oscillator. The dac25.3 also features a large r-core high current oversize power transformer. A headphone output is provided for convenient personal listening.

“…great clarity, superb bass authority, sweetly extended treble…”

“This is an outstanding headphone amp.”

Full Review

Marrying a gorgeous sounding tube pre-amp with solid-state amplification has been a technique for achieving unequaled sound quality in hi-end component audio since the advent of the transistor. While kicking around ideas for our new headphone amp we thought, why not try this same technique in a single component? We built one up and were blown away by the increased detail, clarity, and presence the design offered. The tube hybrid headphone amp was born. Hand assembled using the highest quality parts available the music hall ph25.2 will have you singing along with your favorite artists.
