T+A Cala CDR

CALA CDR Streaming CD Receiver The Streaming CD Receiver The CALA® CDR has a high-quality CD drive, powerful output stages and a high-performance power supply. More than 100 watts of continuous power are available per channel and also allow the operation of large speakers. The housing is very compact and the base of the CALA® CDR can be illuminated if desired, as we have integrated an LED light strip into the rear part of the unit's back panel. Various color modes and the colors white, blue, green and red are available for ambient lighting and their intensity can be controlled. The machine’s high-performance digital signal processor makes it simple and convenient to set it up to suit individual system configurations. For example, it is possible to switch off inputs which are not required, and the sensitivity of one analogue input can be switched to act as a phono MM and High output MC preamplifier. For operation in a surround system the device features a Surround-Pass-Through Mode. A further feature is a range of sound fields designed to achieve optimum sound quality under a variety of conditions and positions, catering also for relatively small loudspeakers. A bass management system regulates all settings if a subwoofer / satellite system is employed. Signal Processor For the CALA® receivers T+A has developed an ingenious fully digital design principle which performs the entire signal processing in the digital domain. This provides a crucial improvement in sound quality, since it eliminates the need for the additional conversion of digital sources; all the data processing is carried out consistently in HD audio quality. The CALA® is a versatile, fully featured receiver with a great performance, and this is only possible through the use of the latest technologies and components. All the audio signal processing is carried out by a high-performance digital signal processor which generates the sound fields for various set-up conditions and virtual surround, controls - where necessary - all the tone settings and cut-off frequencies for the primary loudspeakers and sub-woofer (bass management), processes and controls the output signals for the speaker channels, and converts the two analogue inputs into digital data, so that these can also be processed digitally. The integral amplifiers are based on high-speed bridged switching output stages with high continuous power and current delivery capacity. Their output is sufficient even for large loudspeakers and spacious listening rooms. A mains section which is very stable under load makes ample energy available at all times. Naturally a sophisticated protective circuit monitors all the machine’s operating states.   REVIEW & AWARDS T+A Cala CDR - Read More "Overall, this slender, beautiful audio system that packs a punch is a true all-rounder. So if you’re in the market for an “outstanding streaming server, receiver, amplifier, and CD player all rolled into one,” look no further than the T+A CALA CDR." - Nik Kuepling   Product of the Month: T+A Cala CDR - Read More "It’s not hard to see why such systems have gained rapid acceptance: not only do they answer a common criticism of hi-fi, in that high-quality systems seem to involve a stack of boxes in varying degrees of aesthetic accord, but they also solve all the ‘messy stuff’ of networked audio, by providing a set-up in which most of the hard work has already been done." - Andrew Everard   Test T+A CALA CDR – Complete system redefined - Read More "The CALA CDR's advantages include the very balanced reproduction, the beautiful timbres of natural instruments, the amazingly robust pressure from below and an equally amazing level stability. And last but not least, the fact that most other complete systems on the market can never come close to this sound performance..."   TEST: T+A Cala CDR – The shining light among all-in-one systems - Read More "If you don't want to give up any kind of music playback and value a stylish design, the T+A Cala CDR is the device of your dreams. Its great appearance and good workmanship make it a real eye-catcher in any living room. In addition, its wireless capabilities, clever DSP and various lighting options make it particularly flexible to set up. Apart from perhaps an HDMI connection, the Cala CDR is equipped with every conceivable connection and playback option, while its amplifier can drive a variety of different speakers. You do have to expect a few peculiarities when setting it up and using it, but once you get used to it, you'll quickly have everything under control. This makes the T+A Cala CDR a great audio system with a lifestyle focus that offers consistently good performance. " - Philipp Schneckenburger   T+A Cala CDR - Read More "Compact, solidly put together and stylish – well, once you tame the lightshow – this little system takes the qualities of past T+A Cala models and ups the game with an excellent mix of performance and flexibility. True, it’s not the most hard-charging sound in the world but the well-judged balance here will please more listeners than it frustrates, delivering as it does a rich, powerful view of CD and all manner of streamed media.
