The ERC-3 combines a high-quality digital CD transport and a superb balanced DAC (digital-to-analog converter) in one convenient and attractive package. The advanced engineering, quality construction, and powerful laser engine in the ERC-3 ensure true audiophile performance; whether you use the ERC-3 as a transport or as a complete audio source component. On the outside, a solid-aluminum face plate and new blackout trim contribute to the ERC-3’s modern “Gen2” design aesthetic and the reinforced and isolated steel chassis delivers rugged reliability and prevents any external influences from interfering with your listening experience.
The precision tray-loading disc mechanism handles your discs gently and carefully, and is automatically lit by soft blue illumination so you can see to load and unload discs in a darkened room. Control is provided via either the full function solid metal remote control or the front panel transport buttons. Inside, extra shielding and mass loading provides even more protection against interference, vibration, and jitter. A well filtered multi-stage supply powers the digital circuitry and analog circuitry and the new upgraded DAC, allowing the ERC-3 to deliver truly phenomenal audio quality.
