Description

World Class Sound Experience in mint conditioning with brand new electronics inside - as factory new. Upgraded to the latest DAC MRK III with 4 inputs by Bow CTO Lars Moltke. So the DAC can interface all your digital sources as:
- USB for computer playback or streamer
- TOSLINK optical
- AES/EBU (SPDIF)
- and as a normal CD player

Are you looking for a CD player that delivers in absolute top quality? This upgraded Bow ZZ-8 does not only offers the impressive sound quality that characterizes the original model, but has also undergone exclusive upgrades done by Lars Moltke, the CTO of Bow Technologies, that elevate your listening experience to a whole new level. With improved electronics and optimized NOS technology converters, this CD player is designed for the true audiophile who will not compromise on either sound or design.

For the nerds:
Technically the DAC is based on the vintage PCM1702 D/A converter from Burr Brown in its latest SMD version. To get this old vintage chip up in speed, the master clock is skipped, and instead of a normal digital filter with interpolation, a 64 bit high speed shiftregister feeds the digital I2S signals directly into the D/As. This is better known as NOS (NonOversampling) with a much more natural and analogue sound, like the impression of a turntable.
Selecting the inputs and driving the shiftregister a double quad MUX is implemented which also signal shaping the incoming I2S signals to perfection to avoiding jitter and noise and in combination of a impedance corrections in the PCB layout it gives the analogue output stage the best converted signal possible, so a filterless analogue solution is possible still without any kind of quantization noise. Therefore the only component in the analogue current to voltage converter beyond the class-A amplifier is a special carbon feedback resistor from Riken ohm.
The PSU is designed so every sub circuit has it's own class-A shunt regulatorer bypassed with non microphonic MgO2 solid alu tantalum capacitors. The result is an even cleaner, more detailed, analog and nuanced sound that makes your music experience incomparable.

Scandinavian Design with Timeless Aesthetics:
The Bow ZZ-8 is both a technical and visual gem. The elegant and minimalist style, but with fine details in the finish and materials. Ex the CD drive is mounted on a big heavy brass block for stability.

Condition:
Factory new inside. New laser optics, PSUs, DAC, control circuit with a one-year warranty gives security for a well working player for many years and this brings this ZZ-8 up in the top 5 players in the world. Can be delivered as 115 or 230Vac.

Don't miss the chance to grab this Bow ZZ-8 and elevate your musical experience to new heights. The ZZ-1 amplifier is also for sale, together a very rare set of vintage audio brought back to todays standard.
