01
Three digital outputs
The S515 provides coaxial S/PDIF, optical TOSLINK and professional AES/EBU outputs. The coaxial and AES/EBU paths use electrostatically shielded pulse transformers with isolated ground.

The long listen
The S515 “Ballade II” makes disc playback deliberately simple, with a top-loading mechanism, isolated digital outputs and a remote that keeps the transport easy to live with.

The details that matter.
A short guide to the design and features described by Sparkler Audio.
02
Simple top loading
Place a disc on the top-loading mechanism and close the lid; the transport automatically prepares the disc for playback and the lid also reduces dust and operating noise.
03
Remote control
The included remote controls playback, track navigation, fast reverse and forward, timecode, repeat and LCD backlight.
04
I²S interface options
Optional coaxial, optical and USB external adapters can connect the transport to the Sparkler Audio S512 “perceive” D/A processor.
