It’s not obvious but there is also a headphone jack, it’s hidden on the back of the box so fine if you can access the rear panel but a fiddle if you can’t. Just because we reviewers are a perverse lot I started off listening to this not with my usual ATC P2 power amplifier but with an AVM called SA 8.2, a 450 Watt per channel beast that happened to be in the system at the time. ATC like power after all, how bad a match could it be? Not so bad at all it turned out, positively musical in fact when I put on Macey Gray’s ‘Annabelle’ where the brushes on the snare drum had lots of texture and presence and the high guitar notes were beautifully open and airy. Michael Wollny Trio’s Wartburg is a live album that I’ve been enjoying a lot lately, it’s got really deep bass and lots of detail in a recording with an unusually low noise floor, here the CDA2 revealed itself to be an unusually transparent DAC (using a USB input from the Zenith SE) that is also very well timed.
