The backbone of all audio components is the power supply which is often mini-
mized in leser players. The Cipher includes independent power supplies for the
drive mechanism. digital, and analog sections to maintain signal isolation between
these circuit areas. TheCipher’s linear power supply is sourced directly from the
design used in Krell Evolution e Series amplifiers. A custom wound toroidal power
transformer, 10 times larger than those found in typical players, provides tremen-
dous current reserves and assures low noise analog stage operation. Extensive
mut-regulation delivers rock steady power to all gain stages, ensuring maximum
dynamic impact that can get muted in players using switchin or digital power sup-
plies.
