The La Diva M2 represents a complete redesign of Aqua HiFi's acclaimed CD transport, engineered from the ground up to deliver exceptional audio performance. Built around the advanced Philips CD decoding circuit with digital servo control, this dedicated CD player combines proprietary Aqua electronics with a precision transport mechanism optimized exclusively for CD playback. The redesigned power supply, FPGA decoding architecture, and refined clock circuitry work in concert to minimize distortion and maximize sonic clarity. A newly developed display offers superior visibility with adjustable brightness, while the mechanical design prioritizes silence and stability. By maintaining singular focus on CD excellence rather than pursuing multiple formats, La Diva M2 achieves uncompromised performance that reflects Aqua's mastery of both electronic and mechanical engineering.
