The Sony CDP-S1 (released in 1994) is a highly regarded, compact CD player from the midi segment, known for its musical sound, excellent clarity and dynamics. At the time, the model was praised as a true 'musical delicacy' for an affordable price.
Key specifications:
Frequency range: 2 Hz to 20 kHz
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR): 107 dB
Dynamic range: 99 dB
Total harmonic distortion (THD): 0.0027%
Outputs: Analog (RCA) and digital (optical)
Format: 310 x 90 x 345 mm (W x H x D)
Weight: 3.5 kg
Sound quality: Audiophiles and hi-fi enthusiasts appreciate the CDP-S1 for its neutral and detailed sound image. The player excels in definition, spatial imaging and has a tight, deep bass response.
Even when you connect this player to modern hi-fi systems, it delivers a very dynamic listening experience with lots of 'bite' in the vocals.
The player was designed in the 1990s, a time when Sony paid much attention to both sound quality and design. The device is compact, making it ideal for smaller setups without compromising the build quality of the larger CD players from that same era. The optical digital output also offers the possibility to use the player as a transport and connect it to a modern external DAC for an even better listening experience.
The physical condition of this set is GOOD, rather than very good, because the tuner (PHOTOS 20, 21 and 22) has two (small) scratches on top, and the top of the CD player (PHOTOS 23 to 28) sadly has somewhat larger light scratches.
Fast and careful shipping.
