Lector has been building cd players since the early 1980s – over 30 years. Their range of CD players, DACs and transports incorporate many unique design features and technical innovations. For example, in 1989, Lector was the first manufacturer ever to introduce a Class A tubed output stage in a CD player.

Presently, Lector manufactures two different CD players, four different DACs and a reference quality digital transport. The lineup begins with the CDP 603 CD player. This may be Lector’s entry level product but you sure wouldn’t know it by the sound being delivered. Big, Bold and Fast with the typical “ Lector “ tonal density. The CDP 603 is a very solidly built machine and comes in at around 25lbs. It features a new laser CD mechanism for ultra-high readability / lowest error rates, 32 bit / 192K hi-resolution micro-processor, pure class A tube output section and a new heavy duty resonance optimized chassis. If you have a substantial CD collection but do not want to invest too much money in a new player, the CDP 603 is highly recommended.

As you go up the Lector line, you get obvious performance increases across the board. The CDP 707 with Super Power Supply is amazing! Then you go to the outstanding Digitube and Digicode DAC models offering high performance Burr Brown or AKM DACs.
