PASS Precision Access Servo System
The result of two years of research is the PASS Precision Access Servo System. This system is characterized by fast response and reading accuracy. Combined with in-house developed vibration dampers, it provides superior anti-vibration performance to ensure flawless CD playback.

CD, Bluetooth and USB DAC all in one,
the PL200 goes beyond simple CD playback. With full MQA decoding and a built-in Bluetooth 5.1 receiver, you can stream high-definition audio directly from your devices. Connect it to your computer via USB and you’ll get high-quality audio output, bypassing the device’s internal sound card. Essentially, the PL200 is a Swiss Army knife for your audio needs, offering a wealth of options to achieve the highest levels of musical fidelity.

The PL200 built-in DAC
has a built-in AKM AK4499EX DAC chip. This means that the player can be directly connected to an audio system using RCA cables without the need for an external DAC. The built-in DAC provides the highest audio fidelity, with measured distortion as low as 0.00006% (-123 dB).

Many Connectors
The PL200 is designed for versatility, offering a rich selection of inputs and outputs to suit a variety of needs. Whether you need a balanced XLR line output or high-speed USB input capabilities that support 32-bit/768kHz, DSD512 and MQA decoding, this unit has it covered. Add optical and coaxial outputs, and the PL200 becomes the center of all your audio endeavors, providing seamless integration with many components in your audio system.

PL200 Piano Key Button Design
is a combination of modern and classic, unique piano key button design. But these aren’t ordinary buttons—they each use the tactile and audible blue “click”-type switches commonly found on mechanical keyboards. This provides a pleasant auditory and tactile response with every touch, combining the grace of a piano with the responsiveness of modern technology.
