DIGITAL'S ORIGINAL FAN FAVE

Diehard fans of the compact disc receive the red-carpet treatment thanks to Artera’s slot-loading mechanism and read-ahead buffering. Combined with an asynchronous DAC section offering four digital filter options, you can tailor Artera to your listening preference.

A WORLD OF COLOUR
