TOP LOADING SACD PLAYER
For decades, Audia Flight has continuously refined its expertise in CD and SACD playback, pushing the boundaries of disc-based audio reproduction. The new FLS20 SACD Player represents the culmination of this deep experience—delivering the true essence of a high-end disc player: ultra-precise disc reading and exceptional audio signal fidelity.
To achieve this, the FLS20 was engineered with ultra-short signal paths and a minimalist, highly optimized circuit design. After countless hours of listening tests and detailed technical refinement, the disc drive system was designed entirely from scratch. This proprietary mechanism virtually eliminates all forms of internal and external vibration—one of the most critical challenges in high-performance disc playback. Vibrations are the greatest enemy of disc players, and true sonic excellence is only possible when such interference is fully controlled. As a result, the FLS20 reads disc data with impeccable precision and delivers a pure, uncolored signal to its advanced audio circuitry.
The chassis of the FLS20 is solidly built, with a thick brushed aluminum front panel ensuring both durability and aesthetic elegance. At the heart of its digital-to-analog conversion are two Sabre ES9038PRO 32-bit DACs, operated in mono mode (one per channel), paired with an ultra-low-noise Crystek CCHD-950 clock for extraordinary timing accuracy. The digital section is powered by 10 ultra-low-noise power supplies, ensuring absolute signal integrity.
True to Audia Flight tradition, the output stage is a fully balanced, Class A, discrete current-feedback design, offering both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) analog outputs. This stage is powered by four discrete, low-noise voltage regulators. The power supply architecture includes three separate toroidal transformers—80VA dedicated to the analog section, 85VA to the digital circuits, and a 15VA transformer for logic control—ensuring clean, isolated power delivery across all functions.
Connectivity is equally impressive, with four digital inputs (Toslink, AES/EBU, S/PDIF, USB) and four digital outputs (Toslink, AES/EBU, S/PDIF, and I²S), making the FLS20 not just a world-class disc player, but also a versatile high-end digital hub.
