The consequent further development of hybrid technology has inevitably lead to a CD player which combines the outstanding sonic properties of the already legendary CD S3 with the smooth sound of a tube. Here too we have a digital-to-analogue converter of 24Bit/96kHz. Here too is the typically Vincent oversized power supply taking care of the flawless, linear Class -A operation in the output stage. Yet only here is where amplification is taken over by tubes. Hence stings will sound warmer and you'll likely going to hear the wood of a grand piano.
The musical timing is definitely maintained and an incredible soundstage is created. With its weight of 9 kg this Vincent is underlining the sheer craftsmanship and a fondness for perfection.
The unit features a digital output.
