Latest model with the 2022 V111/r2 LT2 CD Drive.
Blurring the line between technology and art is the MBL Cadenza C31 CD Player.
An alluring entry to the world of high end audio… The mission was to achieve perfect symbiosis an ideal fusion of high end sound with an innovative design concept. MBLs teams of developers and designers worked hand in hand in engineering the concept and have broken fresh ground. The outcome is now a new range of superb high quality high end audio – the MBL Cadenza Line.
Why should you still invest in an expensive CD player? Well, because you have amassed a beloved CD collection over the years – a musical treasure associated with memories, chosen with care. These gems need to be preserved so that we can enjoy listening to them in the future with optimum sound quality. To achieve this, MBL have designed the Cadenza C31 CD Player with a high class CD drive partnered with a trailblazing Digital Converter system derived from the Reference Line. The new MBL Cadenza C31 player joins you on your way into the new era. Its native USB interface as well as the two additional digital inputs make it an easy to use, first-class connection between media file and stereo system. The MBL Cadenza C31 CD Player allows you the best of both worlds: you can enjoy your valuable CD collection or play back the highly resolved data provided by your computer.
The Cadenza Line hasn’t just broken the mould in design terms alone; technically speaking too this new product line sets new standards. The outer solid aluminium casing contains a second casing of reinforced steel which screens off the electronics in magnetically shielded slots with full electrical isolation of the power supplies units and transformers. The CD player features a state of the art high quality Slot drive and digital RCA and Toslink inputs as well as a native USB dock for CD audio data. A novel intelligent MBL SmartLink network enables the devices to talk to one another. This means that all associated input signals are controlled by the Pre-Amplifier or Integrated Amplifier and a simple touch of the button on a device or the remote control is all that you need to put the whole Cadenza system on standby. The power consumption is then under 1 VA (Green Standby). The MBL Cadenza Line is a fully rounded statement of our proven expertise in audio engineering and design a consummate fusion of perfect acoustics and design. A truly alluring entry to the world of high end audio.
