The DUNU Concept R is a portable CD player that combines retro-futuristic design with state-of-the-art audiophile performance. Featuring a fully discrete R-2R DAC architecture and amplification selectable in Class A or AB modes, it offers an authentic analog listening experience, whether on the move or at home.
This makes the DUNU Concept R the ideal companion for audiophiles wishing to rediscover their CD collections with exceptional sound quality, combining modern technology with retro charm.
At the heart of the Concept R is a discrete, symmetrical four-channel R-2R DAC, featuring 192 precisely matched resistors. This configuration ensures smooth, natural digital-to-analog conversion, reproducing musical detail with exceptional fidelity. The integrated amplifier offers output power of up to 1.3W into 32Ω in balanced mode, with the option of choosing between Class A and AB modes to tailor the sound signature to the user's preferences. There's a transistor and a JAN6418 tube amplifier stage.
The Concept R is machined from a block of aerospace-grade aluminum, offering a robust structure and refined aesthetics. Its user interface features a 2.08” monochrome OLED display and a digital volume slider inspired by analog controls, facilitating intuitive navigation. The CD playback mechanism features a high-performance servo developed in-house, guaranteeing precise playback of 12cm and 8cm CDs, including CD-Rs.
The Concept R offers versatile connectivity with unbalanced Jack 6.35mm and balanced Jack 4.4mm headphone outputs, a balanced Jack 4.4mm line output for external amplifiers, as well as an optical output and USB audio input supporting PCM up to 32bit 768kHz and DSD up to DSD512. It's powered by a 12000mAh (31.58Wh) battery, offering extended autonomy for long listening sessions.
