Digital Audio Player from Plinius and Soulution

Computer Audio is now mainstream.  Most manufacturers now retrofit their CD players with USB inputs. New Zealand's Plinius was showing at Munich High End its Toko Digital Audio Player (est. EUR4,950) a stand-alone CD player with USB input.




Also showing at Munich was the Swiss-made Soulution's Digital Player 540, which uses mechanics from Esoteric, upsamples to 24-bit/384kHz feeding to a pair of Burr Brown PCM1792s.  The player also sports a USB input.
