3510 Series

A drawer is just one more thing to go wrong.

A top-loading transport feeding two Burr-Brown PCM1704 24-bit chips in dual-mono, with a display you can switch off and digital outputs so the transport can outlive the converter. Designed and built in Lancing, West Sussex.

Converters, Distortion, Display

Three decisions you can hear.

2converters, one per channel

Burr-Brown PCM1704 24-bit chips running dual-mono, so left and right stay independent the whole way through conversion.

0.007% distortion

Measured across the full audio band at 0 dBFS, with response held to plus or minus a quarter of a decibel.

0lit pixels, if you want

The display switches off. A screen is a noise source sitting inside the same box as the converter, and Exposure lets you remove it.

Why top-loading?
A top-loading transport has no drawer mechanism to introduce play or wear, and the disc sits directly over the spindle. It is the more deliberate way to load a CD and the more mechanically direct one.
What converter does it use?
Two Burr-Brown PCM1704 24-bit chips in dual-mono, one per channel. The PCM1704 has a long reputation for resolution and channel separation, and running one per channel keeps the two sides independent through conversion.
Can I use it as a transport with a separate DAC?
Yes. It carries S/PDIF coaxial and Toslink optical digital outputs, so the disc mechanism is not tied to the converter inside it. If you change DACs later, the transport stays.
Why can the display be switched off?
A display is a noise source sitting in the same chassis as the converter. Switching it off removes that during critical listening. It is a common feature on serious sources and Exposure has included it here.
About the Exposure 3510 Top-Loading CD Player

Top-loading, dual-mono, and quiet by design

The Exposure 3510 Top-Loading CD Player completes the 3510 family. A top-loading transport, two Burr-Brown PCM1704 24-bit DAC chips running dual-mono β€” one per channel β€” and a display you can switch off when you want the box as electrically quiet as it will go.

One converter per channel

The PCM1704 has a long reputation for resolution and channel separation. Running two of them, one per channel, keeps left and right independent the whole way through conversion. Distortion measures below 0.007% across the audio band at 0 dBFS, with a signal-to-noise ratio better than 100 dB A-weighted and frequency response held to Β±0.25 dB.

The transport can outlive the converter

Coaxial and Toslink optical digital outputs mean the disc mechanism is not tied to the DAC inside it. If you change converters later, the transport stays.

Built to sit in the stack

Full-width 3510 casework in black or titanium, 440 Γ— 94 Γ— 300 mm and five kilograms, so it matches the rest of the tier. Designed and built in Lancing, West Sussex, where Exposure has operated since 1974, and covered by a three-year guarantee.
