Yes, that's literally his cell

At this level, every detail matters: your room, your system, what you’re driving it with, what you’re listening to. I handle these orders personally because an investment like this deserves more than an Add to Cart button. We’ll work through system synergy, I’ll make sure the setup is right, and we’ll coordinate delivery so it arrives exactly how it should. A few of our brands require this direct approach, but at this price point, it’s how I’d do it anyway. Use the button above, or call/text me directly at 410-239-2020.

The Kora CD140 CD Player combines advanced digital technology with Kora’s unique Square Tube® output stage to redefine CD playback. Designed for audiophiles who demand precision and musicality, it delivers effortless dynamics, impeccable timing, and a truly three-dimensional soundstage.

Once the CD signal is read, an AKM upsampler processes it at 768 kHz, moving digital artifacts far beyond the audible range. Every digital clock remains locked to the original CD signal, ensuring time accuracy and musical coherence. A ROHM DAC executes 32-bit / 768 kHz conversion, producing extraordinary clarity and resolution.

The Square Tube® stage, powered by stabilized high-voltage supplies, ensures limitless dynamics while maintaining a smooth, natural tonal balance. With its pure analogue output filter, phase integrity is preserved, delivering exceptional depth, imaging, and realism in playback.

Key Features

  • AKM 768 kHz upsampler for precise filtering and time coherence
  • ROHM 32-bit / 768 kHz DAC for ultra-detailed conversion
  • Square Tube® technology for smooth, natural, and dynamic output
  • High-voltage supply (+240 V / ‒240 V) for unlimited amplitude and dynamic headroom
  • Pure analogue output filter ensuring perfect phase respect and spacious 3D imaging
