"For anyone born in the late 1980s or the decades before, the compact disc (CD) was once the most popular mode of playing music and for a time, sharing digital files. Though the format has all but become obsolete, replaced by downloadable mp3s and eventual audio streaming, many music lovers still prefer the physical touch - tactility - of the thin, glistening metallic wheel and the art-covered cases that contain them, not to mention the curated nature of only having 20 or so tracks on one disc."
"Looking to recapture the awe of that moment, all while integrating the latest technological innovations, boutique British audio brand has just released the new DM15 R2R portable CD player. Sturdier and more cubical than its sleekly contoured and streamlined Sony predecessor, the device resembles the configuration of a record player, adding to its nostalgic appearance. It remains lightweight and easy to carry in a bag or even a large pocket."
"This more substantial form hints at its enhanced performance; a degree of sound quality that isn't necessarily derived from the CD per se. DM15 R2R's playback is accentuated by a high-fidelity R2R digital-to-analog conversion. Enhanced amplification - even through its especially robust Bluetooth transmission"
Compact discs were once the dominant physical format for music and early digital file sharing. Many listeners still value the tactile experience of a CD, the artwork, and the curated limit of about 20 tracks per disc. The DM15 R2R is a new portable CD player that emphasizes nostalgia through a sturdier, cubical form and a tempered-glass lid that displays the spinning disc. The device is lightweight and pocketable and comes in a finely sewn leather case offered in darker, trend-conscious tones. Sound reproduction relies on a high-fidelity R2R digital-to-analog converter and enhanced amplification, including robust Bluetooth transmission.
