Quad Platinum DMP/Mono(s)

摘要

For those who crave more power than that of the Elite QSP, Quad has delivered the Platinum Mono power amp. Concurrent with its release is the DMP, the initials standing for Digital Media Player, and it's a logical progression for those of us who have long-enjoyed the earlier 99 Series digital preamp/CD player, the CDP-2. Crucially, the DMP updates the CDP-2's role as a digital control unit by adding a USB input. This, however, does not mean an increase in the number of points of digital ingress, which remain at six. But where the 99 had three Toslink and three coaxial, the DMP sacrifices one of the latter for the USB.
