1. Basic information about the CD3 The EVOLUTION CD3 needs only a few elements to be operated. For basic operation You use only the knobs. The other settings (which are not often needed) can be accessed by the menu system (for example filter setting, playlist programming etc).
Thus if the upsampling converter has a stable jitter free clock the upsampled signal contains less jitter than the original digital signal. The musical advantages of re-clocking are the second reason why the AVM CD3 is equipped with a brandnew upsampling circuitry and an additional stable oscillator circuit.
