The Tascam CD 200 has unbalanced phono outputs and S/PDIF digital out on coaxial and optical jacks. MP3 and WAV file playback is supported, and front-panel Folder navigation buttons are provided. A wireless remote control with numerical track select buttons is also included.
Tascam CD-200 Main Features Include:
Tascam CD-200 CD Player, MP3/WAVI was attracted by the simple “spartan” design of the Tascam CD-200. No unnecessary “bells&whistles”, only the minimum of controls on the face plate for a proper and purposeful operation, all arranged in a logical way to facilitate its use. The pushbutton activated pitch control is an extra, typical for professional applications, and the CD-200 is intended exactly for this type of use.
Operation of the mechanism is quiet and smooth and leaves nothing to be desired.
Sonically this player provides a well balanced neutral sound, with a strong bass and crisp high end, and no coloration at all. Significantly better than the specifications suggest.
Labeled as a basic CD player for professional applications, the Tascam CD-200 does its job exactly as intended by its design, and is worth every cent of its price tag.
