The Musicnote CD-MU8 is crafted using carefully selected materials, featuring dual ES9038Q2M chips known for their excellent resolution. The op-amp employs the high-quality OPA2604, which offers a significant performance improvement over alternatives like the LME49720 and OPA2134. This op-amp is also notably more expensive, reflecting its superior quality.
For capacitors, the CD-MU8 uses Nichicon’s renowned green, gold-letter KG, KZ, and other MUSE capacitors. These high-grade components contribute to exceptional performance, delivering outstanding high-frequency transparency, deep low-frequency extension, and rich midrange fullness—characteristics made possible by using premium industrial-grade capacitors.
The amplifier output stage implements a 6H3 tube, that ensures a smooth, immersive listening experience.
