LEAK CDT CD Transport - Retro Looks, Modern Capability
The LEAK CDT brings a fresh chapter to the LEAK legacy, offering audio enthusiasts a high-fidelity CD transport with the added versatility of USB media playback—all wrapped in the brand’s signature retro design. Engineered to deliver top-tier sound reproduction in its price range, this unit combines classic styling with modern functionality, making it a standout addition to any Hi-Fi system.
Key Features and Performance
-
CD Playback: The LEAK CDT uses an ultra-smooth slot-loading mechanism for reliable, high-quality CD playback. With a 44.1kHz sampling frequency, it ensures precise audio extraction, supported by a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator that minimizes digital distortion for a clean, accurate signal.
-
USB Playback: Beyond CDs, the CDT supports playback from USB storage devices, compatible with FAT16 and FAT32 file systems. It handles WAV, MP3, AAC, and WMA formats at 44.1kHz and 48kHz sampling rates, complete with full transport controls and folder/file navigation for a seamless experience.
-
Digital Outputs: Features coaxial and optical outputs with an output level of 500 ± 50mVpp and 75ohm impedance, providing flexible connectivity to external DACs or amplifiers for pristine digital sound.
-
Shielded Design: The CD transport is housed in an electromagnetically shielded enclosure with a dedicated power supply, reducing interference and enhancing performance stability.
Build and Design
Measuring 11.88" x 4.61" x 10.94" and weighing 11.68 lbs, the LEAK CDT is compact yet robust, reflecting the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and reliability. Its iconic LEAK aesthetic—think vintage vibes with a modern twist—makes it a visually appealing companion to other Hi-Fi components. The standby power consumption is a low <0.5W, ensuring energy efficiency when not in use.

Who It’s For
The LEAK CDT is perfect for those who cherish the tactile joy of CDs but also want the convenience of digital media playback. Whether you’re revisiting your CD collection or plugging in a USB drive with your favorite tracks, this transport delivers exceptional sound quality with ease. Pair it with a high-quality DAC or an amplifier like the LEAK Stereo 130 for a complete audio solution.
Why It Stands Out
This is LEAK’s first foray into CD and digital media playback, and it doesn’t disappoint. The slot-loading mechanism exudes precision, while the shielded transport and crystal oscillator ensure your music is reproduced with minimal jitter and maximum fidelity. Add USB playback to the mix, and you’ve got a device that bridges nostalgia and modernity effortlessly.
The LEAK CDT is a reliable, stylish choice for audio enthusiasts seeking a dedicated CD transport with added versatility. It’s a nod to the past with the capabilities of today, ready to bring your music collection to life with clarity and charm.
