A digital player designed specifically for CDs, equipped with digital and analog circuits with a rich amount of information that can support high-quality sound sources, housed in a square-shaped wooden box case reminiscent of products from yesteryear.
Since its release in 2009, the D-38u has become a long-seller due to its compatibility with vacuum tube amplifiers, and has been well received for its ability to switch output between semiconductor circuits and vacuum tube circuits for playback.
The D-380 has evolved this function, and the vacuum tube output is equipped with a dedicated large output transformer in the ECC82 buffer circuit, and by adding appropriate overtone components, it has achieved a richer expressive power with a higher sense of density.
You can easily enjoy the clear difference from the semiconductor output connected directly from the DAC chip.
