Hartmann Audio is a resounding name throughout the reference/audiophile industry as it has been a synonym to impeccable quality for a very long time now. Building on a legendary heritage, Hartmann Audio has always presented the world with extreme-quality products, which have instantly gained worldwide appreciation and have been an inspiration for both other new manufacturers and listeners alike.

Recently, the German manufacturer has presented the latest CD player mode, codenamed Qsilver CD-303 - a true piece of art and technology mixed together in an astonishing device.

One of the most intriguing features of the Hartmann Audio QSilver CD-303 is that it has been entirely handcrafted and this means that the finishing and component quality is as close to perfection as ever possible. In order to eliminate unnecessary vibrations commonly associated with other CD players, the Hartmann Audio QSilver CD-303 has received an all-aluminium construction, starting form the chassis and further on to the panels and immense heatsinks on the sides. No more vibrations to make a casing ring and an overall construction which is infinitely stronger that most other designs.

The CD drive is belt-driven like in many other high-end similar units and the filtering stage is quite impressive, boasting 2.8 farads capacitors, powered by a massive toroidal transformer ensuring a pristine power supply for impeccable operation. The Hartmann Audio QSilver CD-303 also has an optional fully-functional remote control with aluminium casing as well, and engraved symbols, giving you complete access to all the player's functions.

The Hartmann Audio QSilver CD-303 comes with impressive audio characteristics such as a total harmonics distortion (THD) less than 0.009% for a 1kHz signal, 100dB signal-to-noise ratio and 98dB stereo crosstalk attenuation and many more high-tech issues, all summing up to a great sonic experience.
