Experience unrivaled audio quality with the Michi Q5  Transport DAC. This high-performance CD player features a premium CNC aluminum design CD Mechanism, an advanced ESS ES9028PRO DAC for precise sound, and versatile connectivity including 32-bit/384k Hz PC-USB and 24-bit/192k Hz coaxial and optical source inputs. Enjoy impeccable audio and the ultimate performance with the Michi Q5.

Elevate your audio experience with the Michi Q5 Transport DAC, a state-of-the-art high performance CD player that combines cuttingedge technology with exceptional craftsmanship and unparalleled sound quality.

The Michi Q5 features a top-loading CD mechanism constructed from premium CNC aluminum, ensuring durability and a sleek, modern look. The CD mechanism is mounted on a floating spring assembly to reduce unwanted vibrations and physically isolate the motor from sensitive electronic circuits. This design not only enhances the player’s aesthetic appeal but also provides a stable and precise platform for your CDs.

At the heart of the Q5 lies a premium ESS ES9028PRO DAC, renowned for its high-fidelity audio conversion. This 8-channel DAC performs the critical digital to analog conversion dedicating 4 channels each to the left and right audio signal paths. The 4 times signal processing redundancy of the ESS Sabre DAC extracts further details of the audio buried deep within the recording presented on an expansive sound stage. The fully balanced, fully differential circuit design renders precision with an extremely low noise floor to the XLR and RCA analog outputs for pristine sound reproduction with minimal distortion.

CD audio is also available via Coaxial and Optical Toslink connectors allowing the Q5 to function as a dedicated CD Transport. Dual in-house manufactured toroidal transformers isolate the digital and analog voltage supplies, significantly reducing noise and interference. Additionally, the CD drive motor voltage and current power supplies are electrically isolated from the audio signals, ensuring the quality and purity of sound is maintained and avoiding electronic motor noise leaking into the sensitive audio signals.

In addition to a premium CD player, the Q5 features a wide range of audio inputs including PC-USB (up to 32-bit / 384kHz) with MQA and DSD 4X support, and 24-bit / 192kHz Coaxial and Optical inputs, making it compatible as a DAC for all of your favorite digital sources.

The elegant front panel is void of clutter befitting a Michi product featuring a full-color TFT display capable of showcasing CD album artwork enhancing your listening experience with visual appeal. 

With the included Michi remote, the Q5 offers intuitive, seamless operation and control. RS232 and Ethernet ports provide integration with all popular automation systems ensuring you can manage your audio setup with ultimate ease.

The Michi Q5 Transport DAC is designed for the discerning audiophile who demands the best in both performance and aesthetics. Its premium construction, exceptional audio quality, versatile connectivity, and advanced control options make it the ultimate CD player for your high-end audio system.
