The D10 sets a new benchmark in optical disc playback, establishing itself as the most advanced transport ever created. Drawing inspiration from the critical insights and proven architecture of the D1.5, the D10 expands upon its predecessor’s foundation to redefine every facet of disc data retrieval. The result is a transport that epitomizes precision, fidelity, and sonic excellence.

Innovative MORSE Laser Mechanism

At the core of the D10 is CH Precision’s groundbreaking MORSE (Mechanically Optimized Reading & Stability Enhancement) laser mechanism. Entirely designed and engineered by CH Precision, MORSE establishes unprecedented standards in mechanical precision, stability, and data extraction accuracy. Building upon the single-material design of the D1.5, the D10 features a suspended transport platform crafted from a sophisticated composite an aluminum skin enveloping a dense brass core. This construction significantly improves vibration damping and enhances mechanical robustness.

Heavyweight Stability and Vibration Suppression

Supported by alpha-gel isolators and weighing an impressive 13 kilograms more than ten times heavier than its predecessor the MORSE mechanism effectively suppresses vibrations below 20 Hz. This substantial mass and damping capability drastically reduce mechanical noise, ensuring the integrity of the digital signal and providing a stable foundation for high-fidelity playback.

Precision Calibration for Optimal Performance

A key innovation in the D10 is the inclusion of a precision circular level mounted directly on the transport. This feature allows for exact calibration of the optical pickup, independent of the chassis, optimizing rotational stability and disc tracking accuracy. By addressing this often-overlooked aspect of transport design, CH Precision enhances musical nuance, spatial depth, and temporal accuracy elements that more conventional solutions tend to obscure.

Seamless Mechanical Design

The D10 features a motorized top-loading mechanism that provides vertical access to the sealed Disc Vault. The hybrid-action door reflects meticulous engineering, ensuring that every mechanical component works in harmony to capture each disc with absolute precision. This design unlocks a level of resolution, space, and natural expression that elevates optical playback to new heights.

Dedicated External Power Supply

As with all 10-Series reference components, the D10 utilizes a dedicated external power supply (PSU). Engineered with exceptional current and voltage reserves—comparable to many power amplifiers—the PSU delivers ultra-stable, clean power to the transport mechanism, minimizing electrical noise and maintaining digital signal integrity.

Isolated and Cascaded Domains

The power supply divides into four galvanically isolated domains, each independently powering the transport motor, control circuitry, DSP, and master clock. Cascaded regulation throughout the system guarantees consistently clean, stable current to every subsystem, ensuring flawless data retrieval and minimal read errors.

Heavyweight Build for Ultimate Stability

With a total weight of 66 kg (145 lbs), including the power supply, the D10 stands as the ultimate heavyweight in digital reproduction. This substantial mass and robust engineering underpin its ability to extract data with unparalleled accuracy and stability.

Unmatched Data Integrity and Sonic Excellence

CH Precision’s unwavering commitment to engineering excellence ensures precise, flawless data retrieval from SACD, CD, and MQA CD discs. The D10 maximizes laser tracking accuracy, minimizes read errors, and preserves time-domain integrity. The sonic benefits are profound: enhanced transparency, expanded soundstage depth, greater low-level detail, and authentic timing and flow. The result is music that reveals emotional nuance and sonic richness, capturing the true essence of each recording.

I made short movies with my stuffed animals as a kid, since then I knew from a young age I wanted to be a videographer. My parents always said I had a great eye for video/photo, so I made my job out of it. Now I make professional corporate video's. I love to learn all about new gadgets and electronics that come to the market, that's why I write/edit for "Best Of High End".
