Product Highlights

The Unison Research Unico CDDue is a hybrid CD player and digital-to-analog converter featuring an ESS Sabre ES9018K2M DAC chip, four ECC83 triode vacuum tubes in a pure Class A output stage, and USB support up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256. Functioning as a versatile digital anchor for high-end audio systems, it enhances digital files and compact discs with valve-driven warmth. The design features a dedicated CD loader, balanced XLR and RCA outputs, plus coaxial S/PDIF, AES/EBU, Toslink, and Bluetooth connectivity. Listeners can tailor playback via three digital filters or engage a remote-switchable solid-state buffer to bypass the tube stage.

Critical reviews praise this Italian unit for blending digital resolution with natural triode fluidity, creating an expansive soundstage with rich tonal body. Reviewers highlight its capacity to retrieve intricate low-level detail without introducing treble harshness or digital fatigue. Audio commentators applaud its exceptional versatility, noting that its organic midrange and smooth dynamics breathe vibrant life into digital streams and physical discs.

Adding this component to your setup bridges the gap between digital convenience and authentic analog warmth. By uniting precision conversion with custom valve circuitry, it turns raw digital data into a captivating musical experience. For the enthusiast seeking to revitalize a CD collection while enjoying modern high-resolution playback, it delivers a refined foundation for long-term listening pleasure.
