In December Roksan launched a new stereo set in the Kandy series, which we wrote about here during Christmas . K3 consists of the integrated amplifier Kandy K3 Integrated Amplifier and CD player Kandy K3 CD Player. We wrote then that "somewhat conservative Roksan has not included digital inputs".
Now we do not think for a moment that it was our careful laconic comment that has led to the upgraded version which is now being launched. We only note with pleasure that Roksan has concluded that there is a very reasonable additional investment to expand the application range of this player drastically, by also including digital inputs.
Roksan K3 CD Di is a K3 CD, where it is added one coax and one optical digital input. And the supplement in should be very modest compared with the basic edition - in England we are talking about 50 UKP.
