Passion 1000 CD Player



YBA Passion 1000 CD Player
   

A NEW GENERATION OF HIGH PERFORMANCE CD PLAYERS FROM YBA

When YBA introduced its first CD Player in 1991, the overall enthusiasm made it the undisputed reference. Vitality, delicacy and coherence, the musical qualities of this player, were immediately rewarded by numerous accolades in France and elsewhere.

The result of YBA’s digital research, this player benefits from a number of improvements that guarantees an extraordinary musical pleasure.

Thus, its conversion stage, based on a high resolution 24 bits/192kHz DAC, delivers uncommon transparency and fluidity.

Similarly, its oversized (320 VA 80000 µF) analog section power supply makes it one of the world’s best performers.

And for the purist, it is also available with a double power supply for a perfect channel separation.

Passion 600 CD PLayer



YBA Passion 600 CD Player
   

Rigorous component selection and meticulous mechanical and electronic design, our knowhow and technology have only one goal: MUSIC.

And this music is made of multiple little details.

For example: the Philips CD Pro IIm transport is mounted on a spring / shock absorber combination suspension that isolates it from all unwanted vibrations.

We have of course equipped the Player with YBA’s patented Blue Diode system which significantly improves readout performance.

The analog section’s power supply (160VA, 28000 µF) guarantees efficient AC filtering and gives the CD Passion 600 exceptional impulse response.

Using advanced technology and software, the CD Passion 400 promises musical enjoyment rarely found in its category.

Rigid aluminum chassis, exclusive components, elegant styling, this new CD Player was designed for long years of musical enjoyment.

As with the other models in this series, the analog and digital power supplies are totally separate.

It is the perfect representation of the YBA philosophy of evolution: if the unit is of high enough quality to stand alone, it can also be significantly improved by being upgraded with an external power supply such as the one from the CD Passion 600.
