Michi - Q430 CD Player

Experience the Sought-After "Breath of Life" from a CD Player Built for One Purpose: Michi Prestige Q430 Features Floating Tray Mechanism, In-House-Made Power Supply, and ESS SABRE ES9028PRO DAC

A custom-designed floating tray mechanism, in-house-made power supply with isolated feeds, and differential ESS SABRE ES9028PRO eight-channel DAC are among the principal reasons the Michi Prestige Q430 CD player provides reference-level performance. Super quiet in operation and crafted to supremely high standards, the 6.0 x 17.0 x 15.3-inch (HWD) unit ignores unnecessary frills and focuses on precise, dynamic, rich, and controlled playback of silver discs. Its vibration-resistant build and expert engineering further attest to its status as an audio component that is far from being just another box.

Equipped with balanced XLR and line-level RCA outputs, Prestige Q430 delivers music amid expansive soundstages and conveys elevated clarity that reveals the often-obscured details, tones, and microdynamics crucial to realistic sound. Prestige Q430 delivers a revealing yet refined and neutral character: ample separation, stable imaging, and openness with proper depth and placement — especially on well-mixed recordings and those with complex orchestration. The 19.5-pound Prestige Q430 can also be used as a transport via its coax output should you choose to connect it to an outboard DAC. 

Housed in a milled aluminum chassis that offers exceptional stability, the clean, elegant looks of Prestige Q430 mirror its sonic pedigree and stellar fit-n-finish. An unobtrusive albeit full-color TFT display resides at the center of a smooth, classy front panel that’s all business in approach and execution. Sold with an aluminum remote control, Prestige Q430 will bring that desired breath of life to your disc collection. 100% Music Direct Guaranteed.
