The NBS Universal Audio Format CD Player supports DVD-A; SACD; Audio CD; ISO9660 CD-ROM containing .mp3 or .wma files. In the case of multi-channel DVD-A and SACD, all channels are supported.

The player is constructed in two sections. The lower section contains NBS Power Conditioning and a universal input power-factor-corrected mains power supply as well as a mains entrance connector and breaker/power switch. The front of the lower unit contains a row of LEDs to show the relative setting of the volume control. The upper section contains extensive power decoupling and regulators, the disc drive, signal processing, D/A converters, level control circuits and output amplifiers. The local operating controls and display are also in the upper unit.

The two units are separated physically to prevent any possibility of power supply interference to the operating section. However the units are not separable in the interest of eliminating unnecessary interconnections.

All the outputs are available either balanced on XL connectors or unbalanced on RCA connectors. All output connectors have gold-plated contacts. All 16 outputs can be used simultaneously if desired. The source impedance is low and resistive and will tolerate any load. Cables of any length can be properly driven.

The main Left and Right outputs are provided in duplicate for convenience.
The L surround, R surround, Center and LFE outputs are also provided for multi-channel applications.
When 2-channel audio is being played, the Center outputs offer a derived center channel.

The volume control functions with perfect tracking across all six output channels. This makes it possible to operate without a preamplifier even in multichannel applications.

The mechanical construction is to the very highest standard. All internal shielding is by ¼" solid copper housings.
