Cary Audio Design CD 306 SACD Silver, SACD/CD player

Cary CD306 SACD/CD 
player, silver finish, one owner unit traded in locally. Near mint
condition (I don’t see any flaw but will say near mint because it is not brand
new and I may have missed something). Remote control is in protective plastic
and looks excellent. To quote Cary Audio’s statement:

all aluminum chassis with custom-machined aluminum cone feet,
eight (8) Burr Brown 1792u DAC chips running in parallel pairs, it has the
ability to play multi channel SACD disks as stereo down mix or to play stereo
playback of SACD disks. It incorporates the finest available SACD drive, the
SCD 1 digital drive. It has a top panel drive mechanism viewing window with an
integral bubble level balance. The interior houses four power transformers
(older 306/200 has 2 transformers) to make the power supplies separate for all
critical circuits. On the back panel it has XLR, RCA and TOSLINK digital inputs
to work as a digital processor for an external digital signal like an iPod or a
digital cable box. It also has XLR, RCA and TOSLINK digital outputs. In
addition, it has balanced XLR and RCA single ended analog outputs. CD disks
played in the CD 306 SACD can be played back at 44.1 kHz to utilize the Pacific
Microsonics PMD 200 digital filter to decode HDCD encoded CD disks. CD 306 SACD
can also upsample a CD disk from 44.1 kHz to 96, 192, 384, 512 or 768 kHz to
release all the information available in your CD disk library. It will take an
external digital signal and play it back at 44.1 kHz or let you choose digital
upsampling rates of 96 or 192 kHz.
