CD2500 MkIV CD player
CD-soitin
State of the Art!
The CD2500 MkIV harbors a new DAC board that uses the Burr Brown PCM1792 which allows input and output of digital data of up to 24bits/192khz.
The CD player uses four independent and fully discrete analog modules, one for each of the analog signals from the PCM1792. These analog modules which have been further improved from previous versions are at the center of the music reproduction quality.
The CD2500 MkIV can be used as your reference DAC for other digital sources since it features a SPDIF digital signal input…

CD-transportit
CD2000 MkIII CD transport
CD-pyöritin
Many of the problems that affect the accurate reproduction of recorded music derive from unwanted internal or external vibration.
To address this issue the CD2000 MkIII and CD2500 MkIV use a massive aluminum floating chassis and a Delrin decoupling system of the cd drive.
Furthermore, our unique suspension and disc clamping systems originally used in our analog turntables, have been adapted for use in our ”State of the Art” CD Players.

CD1000 MkIII Transport
CD-pyöritin
Many of the problems that affect the accurate reproduction of recorded music derive from unwanted internal or external vibration. To address this issue the chassis of the CD 1000 series is sculpted in a massive aluminum block.
The CD drive unit is decoupled from the main frame through delrin pillars. Urethane feet act as a suspension/mechanical filter to efficiently decouple the unit from its external environment.
Furthermore, our disc clamping systems originally used in our analog turntables have been adapted for use in our ”State of the Art” CD Players.
The CD 1000 MkIII is a reference digital transport that uses the Phillips CD PRO2 drive.

CD Turntable Interface
Design & Technology
Because the CD vibrates slightly due to the high rotational spin speed of the CD mechanism this vibration problem or ”chatter problem” had to be addressed. Oracle Audio created an interface system that effectively controls this unwanted vibration through an innovative combination of materials and their interaction.
CD Coupling System
Chatter is a persistent feature of the compact disc, and it causes a major problem. The chatter or wobble of the disc causes the laser to lack focal clarity which results in distortion or misread information. This in turn causes the error correction circuitry to have to operate and sometimes to excess.
Oracle pioneered the now well established record clamp system to solve problems with analogue records back in 1979. A similar system has been developed by Oracle to combat CD chatter. Our Disc clamp acts to eliminate the chatter by magnetism coupled with a slight vacuum created by a thick Urethane washer; together these two effects solved the problems.
Craftsmanship
In order to achieve an impeccable natural finish on most of the machined parts, diamond cutting tools are used extensively. Each aluminium component is hand brushed and coated with a high gloss polyester lacquer to seal and preserve the beautiful natural appearance.
At Oracle Audio Technologies, people make the difference in manufacturing, they are craftsmen devoted to serving our customers. Their work creates pride of ownership; their passion for detail shows at every step of the manufacturing process. Their manufacturing techniques and skills result in a work of art.
The floating chassis
The floating chassis plays an important role within the CD 2500 and CD 2000; it must rigidly support both the mechanism and the adjacent electronics. Its maximum rigidity, its minimal surface area and energy control are key its design parameters. The floating chassis system as a whole, due to its high mass, contributes in effectively controlling vibrations with the aid of additional mechanical filters. The chassis nylon sleeve within the Cd enclosure eliminates the high frequencies, the Delrin drive decoupling pillars remove medium and high frequency interferences from the vicinity of the drive mechanism. Finally, a Urethane compound acts as a mechanical energy trap reducing any remaining vibration to an insignificant level…
