The Lyngdorf CD-2 is a pure audio CD player engineered solely for CD playback, using a dedicated transport that eliminates noise and compromises found in multi-format drives. Its advanced power supply isolates analog and digital circuits to maintain an exceptionally clean signal path. At its core, a high-quality Wolfson DAC delivers precise digital-to-analog conversion through both balanced and single-ended outputs. The built-in ICC (Intersample Clipping Correction) feature restores clipped peaks, improving dynamics and headroom. With outstanding specifications—such as an ultra-flat frequency response, extremely low distortion, and powerful output levels—the CD-2 delivers true high-fidelity performance for serious audiophiles.

Electrical Design
The Lyngdorf Audio designed switch mode power supply is extremely well regulated and is filtered and decoupled to provide a low noise and low impedance supply to the digital and analog circuitry. With different supplies from four independent secondary windings on the transformer, the analog and digital supplies are kept separate to minimize digital noise in the analog circuit. Grounding is optimal, and the entire chassis is connected electrically. The back panel is electrically conductive. Lyngdorf Audio spends great time and effort in designing products that will not radiate noise. Making a noise and radiation free design has the advantage that it will also make the CD-2 itself immune to noise from the outside and from products that have not had the same attention to details in the design phase.
D/A Converter
The D/A converter section is used to drive a high-quality, single ended, and balanced output stage. The D/A converter is built around the Wolfson WM8740 chip. This, in combination with our balanced design and very fine audiophile op-amps, results in outstanding sonic qualities.
