SPHINX MYTH 9 MK2 User Manual page 3

Congratulations on your purchase of the Sphinx
Myth 9 Mk2 !
You are now part of an ever-increasing group of
quality-conscious audiophiles using Sphinx
products.
We are very proud of the tradition connected with
the SPHINX name, especially concerning audio
quality perfection.
This manual will help you to gain a maximum
amount of pleasure and quality from your new
Sphinx Myth 9 Mk2 CD player.
The Myth 9 Mk2 is a true 24 bit CD player using the
newest technology based on the Sphinx Project 32
CD player that received rave reviews all over the
world. Two independent high end Burr-Brown
PCM1716 24 bit 96 kHz sampling D/A converters
will guarantee unsurpassed detailed audio
reproduction. A unique feature is that the output
sections are of a totally discrete Class A design.
The "air core" power transformer uses completely
separated sections for the digital and analogue
supply. Combined with the integrated power line
suppression filter this ensures an extremely high
S/N ratio.
In addition to the usual functions like Program,
Repeat and Shuffle Play, the Myth 9 Mk 2 also
offers a Peak / Fade mode for easy and trouble-
free recording from a CD.
By activating the Peak mode the player will search
for the highest signal level on the CD. After finding
this section it will be continuously repeated,
making it very easy for you to adjust the maximum
record level on the recorder. The Fade mode will
slowly decrease the output level to 0 after which
the CD player will select the Pause mode.
Almost all functions are accessible with the
supplied Sphinx CD player Remote Control.
To obtain the maximum quality from this CD player
it is necessary to use it with top quality audio
components, preferably with other Sphinx
components.
Please read this manual carefully before you
install or use the Myth 9 Mk2. It is important to
familiarise yourself with the special functions,
operation and possibilities of the Sphinx Myth
9 Mk2.

Your local dealer will be able to answer any

components.
