Important Notes
External amplification and speakers are required and sold separately. DSD support refers to compatible USB files; the CD 70 does not play SACDs. It has no HEOS streaming or HDMI connection. Maximum USB sample rates and headphone output ratings are not specified in the retrieved product sheet and should be confirmed before publishing those figures. Silver-Gold availability should also be confirmed.
