external digital sources. The CD3800 embodies the standards of a new age, with a rapid increase in thenumber of PC music fans resulting in strong demand for high quality sound reproduction using PCs.

A wide variety of input/output terminals : four different digital input connections (RCA, TOSLINK, AES/EBU, USB) ,two different analog output connections (RCA, XLR) and three different digital output connections (AES/EBU, COAXIAL,TOSLINK). The selector switch of the digital filter (FLAT/PULSE) is also on the backpanel.

A fully balanced design circuitry with a minimal-length
signal path.
