The goal of TAD is truly pure sound. With unwavering dedication to their basic concepts, their constantly evolving technical innovation is wrapped up in eye-catching new forms like the D1000MK2 Disc Player. Welcome to your gateway to pure, high-resolution sound.

Purity

This model embodies the philosophy and technical standards behind TAD’s dedication to conveying all the passion contained within music. Testifying to this is the latest development derived from their top-end, highly praised TAD-D600 disc player: the Ultra-High C/N*1 Master Clock UPCG*2. To ensure precise reproduction with no tonal changes, TAD focused on minimizing low frequency distortion caused by noise from the clock itself occupying the same spectral region. Designed to achieve a pure low-noise signal approaching the upper limits of audibility, our highly innovative master clock is featured in this model.

Precision

To convey all the emotion and passion of the original source, reproduction must be precise and pure. A natural consequence of TAD’s relentless pursuit of this audio philosophy, the Ultra-High C/N Master Clock UPCG is combined with high-quality, parallel connected, dual differential independent D/A converter ICs for both the left and right channels. To reduce residual noise, even at high sample-rates, a discrete I/V conversion circuit is utilized. D/A conversion with virtually flawless accuracy is now a reality.

Authenticity

All internal parts and circuits are designed and constructed with care and precision. From the careful alignment between the theory and practice behind our selection, and use of component parts subjected to an uncompromising reiterative testing and auditioning process, this is the very essence and DNA of all TAD audio equipment.

For example, utilizing high output toroidal power transformers in dedicated independent power supplies for analog and digital circuits eliminates potential mutual interference, and easily handles the power and speed demands of high resolution sound reproduction.

Heritage

Based on the concepts, designs and techniques behind TAD disc players in a stylish new form, the TAD-D1000MK2 is our next generation SACD/CD player. With a machined aluminum disc tray and low-noise brushless DC servo motor firmly mounted in an 8mm-thick aluminum chassis, TAD has succeeded in our constant efforts to eliminate external vibration from our high definition mechanisms, guaranteeing stable high quality playback. The high quality of its playback is made possible through a newly developed insulator utilizing a spike structure to enhance isolation. Additionally, with a range of inputs complete with USB and digital, you can also enjoy it as a high-performance DAC. With the volume function, you can also experience TAD sound even on a simple system without using a preamplifier.

Progress

TAS has also included one of their latest developments, the Asynchronous USB Communication Engine. Playback via USB input is capable of handling PCM audio data up to 384kHz/ 32 bits, and DSD audio data up to 5.6MHz. TAD is now equipped to handle the very best high resolution audio formats to bring you closer than ever to the original musical performance.

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
