Downloads are everywhere, but the compact disc is also here to stay. The Stello CDA500 accommodates both formats with ease. A superb CD player, the CDA500 features a topm-loading mechanism for trouble-free operation. Electronic highlights include upsampling to 192 kHz, and compatibility with both “Red Book” standard CDs and CD-Rs. A full bank of analog and digital inputs and outputs means that the CDA500 will fit into any kind of home entertainment system, be it old-school analog or cutting-edge digital.

USB connectivity means the CDA500 can communicate directly with your personal computer, elevating your archived audio files to CD quality. The PC is fantastic tool and ultra-convenient portable library, but it lacks refinement as an audio playback device. You will amazed at how good computer audio can sound when processed through the CDA500’s state-of-the-art Digital-to-Analog converter.
