YAMAHA CDX-2000 (1987) | Hi-Bit Digital Technology

 

The CDX-2000 appeared in 1987 as an upgrade of the previously released CDX-2200, the first high-bit player. While the exterior appearance and basic design followed that of the CDX-2200, the operation key panel was colored gold and the front panel featured the titanium color of the 10000 series, and its presence was enhanced by the four-piece construction and large heavy insulator inherited from the CDX-10000. Its major claim to fame was the 8x oversampling of its digital filter, and together with digital/analog component separation by the current isolation method instead of the conventional photo-coupler system it achieved a 118dB S/N ratio, phenomenal for its time. Additionally, as a symbol of the glitch-free accuracy achieved by the D/A converter component, it was equipped with the new Pure DAC Direct Switch that output the DAC signal without passing through a low-pass filter, well-received by audio enthusiasts as a novel approach compared to the sound of the "original" DAC.
