BC Acoustique EX 622

The BC Acoustique EX 622 is a CD player designed with an audiophile approach in mind, intended to offer faithful playback of recordings to high-fidelity enthusiasts. It belongs to a range designed to rival players usually positioned at considerably higher budgets.

Its mechanical heart is the Sanyo DA11TC3 module, a transport also found in major brands' significantly more expensive models. This mechanism handles disc playback and feeds a digital-to-analogue converter rated at a resolution of 24 bits and a sampling frequency of 192 kHz, two parameters that determine the refinement and precision of the reproduced audio signal.

The player accepts CD-R and CD-RW formats as well as MP3 files, allowing burned discs or digital compilations to be used without needing a separate device. It also features a USB digital input, which allows music files stored on a computer to pass through its own converter rather than through the often more modest converter of the computer's sound card.

This player is aimed at listeners who wish to keep the CD format within a hi-fi system while enjoying a quality converter for their digital files. It will suit both those who still own a large physical disc collection and those who wish to give new life to their audio files via a dedicated USB input.
