Exposure 2010 S2
British hi-fi CD player fitted with a 24-bit PCM1716 DAC and a solid aluminium chassis, designed for enthusiasts of refined sound reproduction.
Description
The 2010 S2 is a high-fidelity CD player from Exposure, designed for compact disc playback with particular attention to digital-to-analogue conversion quality and signal stability. It belongs to a range intended for audio systems where the source plays a central role in the listening chain.
The converter used is a 24-bit PCM1716 DAC, paired with an optimised audio output circuit and several separate power regulation stages. A large toroidal transformer powers the playback mechanism and the audio circuits separately, a separation that limits interference between the mechanical and analogue sections. A high-stability quartz clock, coupled with dedicated regulators for the transport and audio stage, aims to reduce jitter and therefore digital signal synchronisation errors. The double-sided circuit boards contribute to careful routing and improved electromagnetic shielding.
The all-aluminium chassis and extruded fascia reinforce the mechanical rigidity of the unit, which limits parasitic resonances and external electromagnetic disturbances that could affect the signal. The display can be switched off, a function designed to reduce internal digital interference and improve sonic refinement during listening.
This player is aimed at listeners with an established hi-fi system, seeking a CD source capable of delivering a high level of detail, within a system where the amplification and speakers justify such a demanding standard of digital playback.
What to check before buying used
The optical block remains the sensitive point: a worn laser results in difficulty reading certain discs, skipping, or a longer recognition time. Also check the smoothness of the loading tray, whose mechanism can seize up or become misaligned over time. Checking the display and transport controls (play, forward, pause) helps detect any faulty contacts on the fascia.
