Combining very high performance and versatility, the CDA2 combines a CD player, pre-amplifier and high-resolution DAC within a compact and elegant chassis.  Acting as the source or combined with a streamer and/or external phono stage, it can partner with active speakers to form an exceptional system with minimal ‘box-count’.  Alternatively, the CDA2 can combine with a power amplifier such as the ATC P2 to drive passive loudspeakers with stunning results.
