089 cd player

top line

The perfect blend of sound, innovation and design in near ideal fashion

Combines brand new developments with distinguished technologies

The interplay between the Burmester-invented belt-drive, SRC-function to 96kHz/24bit or 192kHz/24bit with the according conversion, is regarded internationally as benchmark technology.

Two digital inputs.

Due to its two digital inputs and selectable volume control, the 089 has an additional preamplifier-function. The digital inputs allow the connection of further external sources.

X-Amp2 Modules

Like the 088 Preamplifier, the 089 CD Player uses X-Amp2 modules for the out- puts. These modules, formely only used in Burmester Reference Line products, are primarily responsible for the extraordinary sound that has been awarded with numerous reference titles in the past.
