 First established in 1936, Quad is one of the UK’s oldest and most prestigious audio manufacturers still in production today. Renowned for its award-winning audio electronics and loudspeakers, Quad stays true to its ideology as the closest approach to the original sound.

CD Transports don’t include DACs (Digital to Analogue Converter), requiring either an amplifier with inbuilt DAC or a seperate DAC component within your system. Because DAC quality varies significantly, Transports are a versatile choice allowing you to customise, upgrade and evolve your sound quality over time.

PLATINA CDT: TRUE REFINEMENT

From machined-aluminium controls to its minimalist fascia, the Platina CD Transport balances QUAD’s heritage with elegant digital precision. Matching the footprint of the Platina Integrated and Stream, Platina CDT is a purposeful exercise in audiophile restraint, designed to integrate seamlessly into a sophisticated HiFi aesthetic.

QUAD PLATINA STEAM

This high-precision CD transport is a purpose-built hub for digital purity. Stripped of onboard DAC circuitry to ensure the cleanest possible signal, it utilises advanced clocking to preserve the integrity of every bit, revealing the absolute truth of your music collection.

PERFECTLY UNASSUMING

Conventional CD players alter the signal before leaving the chassis. Not Platina. Designed to partner seamlessly with the Platina Integrated amplifier—or any high-performance DAC, Platina CDT decodes nothing. It assumes nothing. It simply passes on an uncompromised bitstream straight to your system.

NOTHING BUT MUSIC

Digital signals demand purity. That’s why Platina CDT isolates the power delivery from delicate data pathways to eliminate interference before it corrupts the music signal. With voltage fluctuations banished and the noise floor completely silenced, nothing but the music reaches your DAC.

THE WHOLE TRUTH

Platina CDT uses a custom-developed, structurally dampened transport to drastically suppress mechanical noise, ensuring that your DAC doesn’t have to guess what the laser missed. The result is a pure, unmodified bitstream that respects the original recording.

A SIGHT FOR SORE EARS

Enjoy an interface that respects the intimacy of every listening session. Platina CDT’s 4.3-inch IPS LCD renders CD Text and system status in a vibrant, high-contrast resolution, allowing critical playback data to remain legible from wide angles across your listening/living room.

NEVER MIND THE GAP

Live albums lose their magic through artificial interrupts. But by natively pre-buffering disc data, Platina CDT eliminates the gaps between tracks. With timing preserved exactly as mastered, you get continuous playback without the processing delays that pull you out of a performance.

YOU BLOODY RIPPER

Your library shouldn't be limited by shelf space. Platina CDT features USB HDD playback, routing your ripped digital files directly to the output stage. It transforms vast hard drives into immediate audiophile sources, handling everything from FLAC to WAV with zero compromise.

WEIGHT FOR PERFECTION

Flawless optical tracking requires more than a steady hand. It requires gravity. Weighing a massive 10.9kg, Platina’s chassis acts as an impenetrable kinetic vault against ambient vibration so that internal resonances are muted before ever reaching the laser assembly.

RIGHT ON TIME

Even a microsecond of drift can blur a vivid image. That’s why Platina’s master clock actively stabilises its environment to crush frequency drift. These perfectly synchronised data packets ensure your music sounds as focused as the day it was recorded.
