Preface
The Audionet Scientists Team and its leading scholars congratulate you on your
purchase of this unit, sending cheers directly from our research and development
center.
The predecessor model ART G3 is widely considered to be one of the best-
sounding CD players ever made, boasting unique acoustic and design character-
istics that convinced music-lovers around the world. An impressive list of test
victories, distinctions, and awards testifies to the long and triumphant reign of the
ART G3.
Curtain call for the third generation of CD player: the new PLANCK is nothing
less than Audionet’s final statement for reproducing the classical compact disc.
At the same time, it also represents a thoroughbred high-end D/A converter. Its
sound quality can be used via further digital systems, especially computers. This
is possible via optical and electrical digital inputs.
The PLANCK is geared towards the requirements of classical stereophony. Ex-
pert connoisseurs of high-quality musical reproduction will find the product not
only delivers the aural satisfaction they dream of, but even opens up previously
unknown musical realms. Combining craft with precision and presence, PLANCK
fulfils its makers’ vision of pushing back the quality frontiers of classical CD play-
back to rival the standard of advanced high-resolution media. PLANCK is
equipped with the potential to become a further milestone in audiophile acoustic
art.
Even if you’re an experienced aficionado of ultra-highend components, please
start listening to your new Audionet PLANCK by reading this manual carefully
before you plug it in. This will ensure you'll enjoy all functions of this unit without
any compromise or potential disruption.
