Atoll CD400 Evo CD Player

Atoll Electronique CD400 Evo – Reference-Class CD Player with Upgradeable DAC Functionality

The Atoll Electronique CD400 Evo is the flagship CD player in Atoll’s Line 400 series—a no-compromise, reference-level machine that delivers breathtaking musical realism. Meticulously designed and handcrafted in France, it combines state-of-the-art digital conversion with robust engineering and the flexibility to become a fully functional DAC/CD player through the addition of Atoll’s optional DA200 or DA300 DAC boards.

Reference-Grade Sound Reproduction

At the core of the CD400 Evo lies the high-performance Burr-Brown PCM1792 DAC, operating at 24-bit/192kHz resolution. This audiophile-grade chipset is paired with fully symmetrical, discrete analog output stages for maximum transparency and natural tonal balance.

The dual-mono architecture, with completely separate power supplies for each channel, guarantees precise stereo imaging, exceptional channel separation, and an expansive soundstage. High-current, low-noise regulation ensures the signal remains pristine from disc to output.

Upgradeable to a Complete DAC/CD Player

Beyond its outstanding CD playback, the CD400 Evo can be expanded into a full digital hub. Installing the optional DA200 or DA300 DAC board unlocks multiple high-resolution digital inputs—allowing you to process audio from streaming devices, televisions, gaming consoles, or computers through the same reference-grade circuitry.

Benefits of the DAC upgrade:

• Multiple optical and coaxial digital inputs

• Direct USB connection for computer audio (with DA300)

• Seamless integration of all your digital sources into one central component

Robust, Vibration-Free Construction

The CD400 Evo’s design reflects Atoll’s obsession with mechanical stability and electrical isolation:

• 5mm thick steel chassis with heavy-duty aluminum front panel

• Mechanically decoupled CD transport mechanism to reduce vibration and resonance

• Separate shielded compartments for analog, digital, and power sections

This ensures the CD transport reads discs with absolute precision while minimizing mechanical noise and interference.

Audiophile-Grade Connectivity

The CD400 Evo offers flexible output options to suit any high-end system:

• Analog outputs: RCA stereo, balanced XLR

• Digital outputs: Coaxial, optical

• Upgradeable inputs: Activated via DA200 or DA300

Balanced XLR outputs provide optimal signal integrity for compatible amplifiers, delivering maximum dynamic range and ultra-low noise.
