For many people, buying their first Quad sound system can be a life changing experience. They enjoy the confidence of knowing that the complete system has been engineered to achieve optimal performance, free from compatibility problems. They relax in the knowledge that Quad's legendary service department will give support throughout the system's useful life.

The Elite CDS enjoys significant revisions throughout, including a new transport mechanism and servo system. Digital data stream is regulated by a high-performance master clock to minimise jitter (phase noise), then fed to a top-end Crystal 24-bit/192kHz DAC with upsampling. The highest quality electronic components are specified throughout, with multi-layer circuit boards and Quad's advanced, proprietary filtering and control software.

The Elite CDP uses a bespoke designed transport mechanism optimised to allow the unit to perform at utmost perfection. Its Crystal 24-bit/192kHz DAC converts digital data into analogue signal, which is available as either fixed level for use with a traditional pre-amplifier or as a variable level to allow direct connection to a power amplifier. It features six digital inputs to accept a range of PCM streams coming from digital sources.
