069
CD-Player
For Reference Line
The Reference Line CD-Player 069 is a cutting edge technology. Combined with a proprietary belt-drive system, it provides a high-grade musical experience. As a result, the CD data translates the smallest musical detail and other complex acoustic structures.
Impressions
With attention to detail.
Recognisable as a typical Burmester even from the very first glance, the 069 CD Player makes use of characteristic design elements of the Reference Line.







Manufacture
Design
The design of the Reference CD player is an expression of Burmester’s philosophy: understated elegance combined with cutting-edge technology and highest-quality manufacturing in a rock-solid housing. The massive construction of the Reference Line enclosures completely isolates sensitive electronics from mechanical or acoustical interference. In short, the 069 CD player is visually and sonically a world-class performer offering unlimited musical enjoyment. The only player topping this performance is the 069 with a dedicated external power supply. It sports extremely powerful toroidal-core transformers, which rigorously separate the currents supplied to the digital and analog sections.
Manufacture
Design
Like all Burmester components, the belt-drive system is carefully assembled in the Berlin factory. Highly trained technicians connect the platter assembly via belt to the Swiss-made precision motor. The whole unit consists of 708 carefully selected parts, which are assembled into a work of art that has to pass muster in a multifaceted testing and adjustment procedure before shipping.
