Leema Acoustics Updates Stream CD Player (18/11/2008) The Stream CD player was designed incorporating many of the technical innovations pioneered in Leema's multi-award-winning Antila CD player to deliver breathtaking performance, in a wonderfully ergonomic product, at a significantly lower price. Continuing the success of its higher priced sibling, the Antila, the Stream won many key awards during it's first few months on the market. Despite this success, recent new product developments at Leema have led to a significant upgrade of the Stream by replacing surface mount components with hand matched high grade audiophile parts in key areas of the player. Whilst this has led to a small price increase to £1195, the performance has substantially improved with distortion levels lowered by 16dB at 20kHz resulting in a much blacker background, finer high frequency detail and better spatial awareness. Unchanged from the original Stream are the sixteen 24bit / 192KHz multi-bit Delta-Sigma converters used in Leema's unique MD2 Active Differential Multi-DAC configuration. The stereo output is derived from a fully balanced signal generated in the digital domain producing an incredibly real and tactile musical performance with almost no noise and distortion. Also retained is the L-Drive, the Stream's innovative single control which intuitively performs all the usual CD functions such as CD tray open and close, play, stop, previous and next track selection and even direct track access. To further enhance the operational simplicity the Stream is fully LIPS(r) (Leema Intelligent Protocol System) compliant. LIPS(r) allows Leema products to intelligently communicate with each other, allowing, for example, a single press of the L-Drive control to not only select play, but to automatically switch on the amplifier and select the CD input. The new Stream effortlessly presents music with precision, power and an analogue-like delicacy within an expansive yet explicitly focused soundstage. Suggested UK Retail Price (inc. V.A.T. @ 17.5%) Stream £1195.00.
