The MBL N31 CD-DAC is an exquisite digital audio component from MBL’s prestigious Noble Line, embodying the German manufacturer’s relentless pursuit of sonic perfection. This integrated unit combines a high-performance CD player with a state-of-the-art DAC, offering discerning audiophiles unparalleled playback quality from both physical discs and external digital sources.

At its core, the N31 features an ingeniously dampened slot-loading CD transport and MBL’s advanced D/A conversion technology, which masterfully blends Multi-Bit and 1-Bit principles for seamless linearity. Proprietary innovations like True Peak Technology prevent clipping, while a 3-stage jitter reduction system ensures impeccable timing. Users can tailor the sound via three selectable digital filters.

The N31 provides extensive digital inputs, including dual USB ports optimized for high-resolution playback from various devices, alongside AES/EBU, coaxial, and optical. Its robust, precision-machined aluminum chassis and high-resolution color TFT display reflect MBL’s signature blend of functional elegance and luxurious design. Delivering breathtaking transparency, expansive dynamics, and a profoundly natural musicality, the MBL N31 CD-DAC sets a new benchmark for digital audio reproduction.
