xDuoo CDM10

The xDuoo CDM10 bridges the world of classic CDs with modern digital listening. This hybrid player also functions as a fully-fledged high-resolution USB DAC. Thanks to its fully balanced architecture with two converters and a pair of valves, you can choose between a clean transistor sound and a richer valve character. It supports PCM, DSD, and MQA formats, and with its powerful 1087mW headphone amplifier, it can handle a wide range of headphones. Power is supplied by a built-in battery or an external adapter.

Two sound worlds in one body

The xDuoo CDM10 player is built on a fully balanced architecture, which is the foundation for a clean and detailed sound. At the heart of the device are two Cirrus Logic CS43198 converters operating in a four-channel configuration, contributing to low noise and precise resolution. The device offers a choice of sound character. The analogue section, featuring a pair of Raytheon JAN6418 valves, lets you switch between “Transistor” mode for a neutral and transparent listening experience, and “Tube” mode, which gives the sound a softer, more musical quality.

Precise reading and Hi-Res format support

The CD drive was designed in-house by xDuoo with an emphasis on stable and precise reading of CD, CD-R, and CD-RW discs. It uses an optimised servo system, fast error correction, and dual anti-vibration isolation. For a smoother high-end and more cohesive soundstage, you can use the optional 2× or 4× upsampling. In addition to physical media, the CDM10 also functions as a USB DAC, handling modern high-resolution recordings. In this mode, it supports PCM up to 32-bit/384kHz, native DSD256, and also decodes the MQA format up to 8×.

Wide connectivity and flexible power

The player is equipped with a rich set of connectors for connecting to various devices. The headphone section offers a balanced 4.4mm output, as well as standard 3.5mm and 6.35mm jacks. For connecting to a home hi-fi system or an external DAC, there is an RCA line-out and S/PDIF and Toslink digital outputs. A 1.9-inch TFT display provides playback information. Power is handled by a built-in 6000mAh battery for portable use, while for desktop use, an external 12V adapter can be used for maximum stability.
