Tecnically speaking, the CD 100 is a traditional single-bit Japanese CD player with a new output analogue stage and a toroidal transformer that feeds it. A closer look at the inside of the CD 100 unveils its inner secrets.
The CD transport is a Philips VAM 1201/03 unit, used in many budget Japanese players while the digital circuits and audio boards (including the diminutive power supply transformer) are those of the Technics SL-PG 490/590, the entry-level players from the Japanese Company (priced around 150 $). It's no mystery, the boards still show the SP-PG 490/590 labels on them.
Then you have what the French engineers have done: added a new board which hosts a dual-mono symmetrical low impedance (750 Ohm) discrete analogue output stage fed by a massive 165 VA toroid and a bunch of small caps (10,000 uF total). That's it.
In Italy we'd call this operation Tweaking d'autore, that is to say, a tweaking session perfomed by a HiFi Company instead of some crazy audiophile.
Then you have the cabinet, exactly the same grossly finished and pretty resonant one used for any other Atoll HiFi component, be it an integrated amp, a preamp or a CD player.
Finally, the remote control: a Technics remote with an Atoll plaque on it :-)
The whole package hits the scales at 7 kgs (that's 14 lbs, more or less) while the size is the usual Atoll one: 44 x 27 x 9 cm.
The Atoll CD 100 makes use of medium-quality gold-plated RCA's, 2 for the analogue output and 1 for the coaxial digital output, while the detachable power cord is again of the Technics kind, that is, the classic, diminutive, ultra-low quality figure-8 plug (no cool IEC receptacles here, sorry).
The output level is easily adjustable from remote, cool if you're a lazy lad, not exactly a must if you're a die-hard audiophile. I, for one, prefer fixed outputs.
