Since I'm an happy owner of an LV player, I've decided that the CD player in my future will be a combined LV/CD player. Right now, the Pioneer CLD-900 and its clones are the only such player available. Does anyone know the details of the CD decoding technique used in the CLD-900? The Pioneer literature and salesmen have not been any help. -- Ward

I think High Fidelity did an article on it a few months back. Steve | |||||

I am not sure what you mean by decoding technique unless you mean sampling rate etc. I belive that it uses 44.1 sampling and digital filtering. As far as error correction I don't know if they do any more than the average CD player. While at CES however, I did ask them about the encoding of digital audio on video discs. I was told that they used 16 bits, at 44.1khz sampling but did not have all the bits that a standard CD has for error correction. They can detect an error, but not correct it, so thay average it with the previous sample. I will admit that the guy I talked to didn't seem really technically knowlegable so maybe he didn't really know. | |||||

What I'd like is to find is that the CLD-900 (or successor) uses 4-times oversampling, digital filtering, 2 DACs, ... -- Ward | |||||

You might want to look at this month's and last month's DIGITAL AUDIO, since there was a two part article on the CLD-900. GAS | |||||
