CH Precision C10 Director

[abeidrov]

The 10-Series represents a new level of integration and refinement in digital playback. Debuting in Munich, the all-new D10 Reference Transport and C10 Conductor elevate the 10-Series to new heights—extending its architecture, deepening its capabilities, and offering a clear, modular path for future upgrades. The D10 is CH Precision’s ultimate expression of optical disc replay—an uncompromising reference transport that sets a new benchmark in performance. The C10 Conductor isolates core digital processes—source selection, clocking control, DSP—from the DAC itself, reducing interference and elevating performance and fidelity.

Together with the C10 Master DAC, these components form a coherent and future-proof platform—flexible, upgradeable, and designed to bring listeners closer to the emotional core of music, not through embellishment, but through clarity, authenticity, and natural resolution.

At the current rate at which manufacturers are doubling, tripling, and quadrupling boxes, we would need to purchase another house just for the equipment.

Thank god CH has 6 box digital finally. I was worried that it was left behind of Wadax and dCS. Now I wonder which company will be the first to offer 7-box-digital.

Guess it will be more expensive than 5 box Varese, else will be a bargain

Most probably.

Is that 6 or 8 box

You’re right it’s 8 box, sorry my bad. I thought lower two boxes are optional power supply units like X-1.

Every additional cable connection is a potential weak point. Who needs that? Probably coperation with a cable manufacturer.At least PS plugs have reverse polarity protection as far as I can see.

Not sure, where all these negativity is coming from… Personally, I prefer CH design to all other big names. There is some harmony and elegance in all these boxes. And, if it has a positive effect on sound, who cares? People who buy CH 10 series components are not concerned about space.

It doesn't make sense...this nonsense plays worse than a Holbo with Colibri.

Having a power supply in a separate box does not make sense?

It woul be interesting to see the inside of the digital conductor. One would think that these boards formerly sat inside a stereo C10, so they should not take up that much space inside a dedicated box. I agree, it seems there should have been ample room for the power supply insie the box. However, removing the noise generated from the power supply from the sensitve digital circuits likely results in improved sound, and the people purchasing the C10 are pursuing maximum performance. I doubt they care there is an extra box sitting on the rack.
