CD-327A Upsampling Tube CD Player - MSRP US$949.00
CD-327A
Reviewed by Todd Authur of Affordable Audio:
"I can honestly say that this CD player is the best I have heard anywhere near this price point and should satisfy the most discriminating listener"
Reviewed by Mike Pershkin of Positive Feedback:
"For the first time in my life I have not missed my 10,000 LP Collection. I began playing CDs I hadn't played in a number of years, some I'd listened to only once because they didn't grab me. Every CD I played grabbed me. It didn't matter whether it was the really early Blue Note CD reissues or those RVG remasters, I spent hours more than I should have listening to music".
The custom programmed Bur Brown 192/24 bit DAC chip is capable of reproducing the audible range of vinyl records. The up-sampling can be defeated or selected directly from your remote control. You have the option of selecting the frequencies of 44.1 kHz, 88.2 kHz or 176.4 kHz. You can choose what is best for your CD's and system. The new tube design is excellent, with 2 new 12AX7 tubes gives the CD-327a its smooth sound. New French Solen output capacitors and the new aluminum isolation feet round out the new features.
Its own chip design allows for filtering, conversion and up-sampling in one single chip. This greatly contributes to the unmistakable sound of this CD player. The special low pass filter contributes to the pure and natural tonal quality that breathes new life into every CD. Selecting the up-sampling frequencies on these players allows you to change the characteristics of the digital filter resulting in different sound presentation each frequency (44.1 kHz, 88.2 kHz and 176.1 kHz). Like other Grant Fidelity products the CD-327a boasts an exceptionally quiet power supply.
The CD-327A uses a SONY 213Q pickup with a Phillips SAA7824 servo. At critical points, MCAP, Solen and ELNA components are used. Amplification is provided by the Burr Brown OPA2604, known for its smooth sound and wide frequency response. The CD-327a has a coax digital output and one set of RCA (tube) outputs.

Customer decides to keep it after 5 days audition
Although our in-home audition program allows potential customers to try out the unit for 21 days, one customer has decided to keep it after 5 days audition. Here is what he says:
"Hi Rachel I have been very impressed by the 327-A! It is superior to my old Arcam unit. I will obviously be keeping the player.... Thank-you for your prompt service and shipping. We will do business again!" - Jason D., Nov 4th, 2008
