High-end hi-fi company YBA has made what it claims is the world's first "transportable" CD player for SACDs — it's got the audiophiles in the office very excited, but it's not exactly a handheld model to slip in your jacket pocket
YBA has introduced the Design One, which it claims is the world's first 'transportable' SACD player. While it is designed to be used in various locations, its size and weight make it less portable than typical handheld devices. The player features multiple outputs and impressive specifications aimed at audiophiles.
- ▪The Design One is marketed as the first 'transportable' SACD player.
- ▪It weighs 1.34kg and measures 18.8 x 16.6 x 4cm, making it less portable than expected.
- ▪The player includes outputs for headphones, RCA, SPDIF coax, and USB-C, though SACD is not supported via USB-C.
