Unison Research Unico CDE CD Player

Unison Research Unico CDE CD Player

Available in silver or black

The latest CD Player from Unison Research, and already the recipient of `Best Buy` and top-star awards, including a five star review from What Hi-Fi Magazine, who called the product "A smooth and refined sonic presentation that still entertains."

Developed from the long-running and highly succesful Unico CD, but now with a larger chassis, superior transport mechanism and beefed-up circuit components. 4 x twin-triode valves in the audio output circuit give a big, highly detailed and generous sound . For its build quality, price and for all-round musical performance the Unico CDE is probably the best CD player on the market. And its excellent DAC stage and its quartet of  tubes give the sound a beguiling touch of air, space and grace.

"Engaging and musical sound with strong tonal realism...this player has charm in spades, if you can live without clear cut edges" (Hi-Fi Choice magazine)

"...superbly built and delivers on romance, atmosphere and musicality...the Unico clearly extended its charm to the listening panel, two thirds of which were very taken with it, while even the most critical managed to find something positive to say...it combines exotic build with an engaging and revealing sound that most music lovers will have difficulty resisting" (Hi-Fi Choice magazine)
