The Leema Antila IIs Eco CD player has a very soft sound with a full-bodied tonal palette that is rarely seen in the digital world. At the same time, softness and smoothness do not reduce the drive and intensity of the sound. The company is better than others at striking a balance between maximum resolution and pleasant listening to music.

The Leema Antila IIs Eco is a solid machine with a superb finish and wonderful sound. The “S” in the name is barely noticeable, but the updates associated with it are the most significant in this line. The main changes have been made to the motor and servo drive, which rotate the disk and read information from it; they led to a significant reduction in jitter and improved sound quality. Externally, you will only notice a heavier disc tray.

Apart from modernizing the transport, the player has not undergone any changes. It uses the same DAC circuit with twenty 24-bit/192 kHz converters; This device improves linearity, reduces jitter and noise. Leema Antila IIs Eco has optical and coaxial outputs, as well as, like most High-End models, balanced with XLR and unbalanced with RCA connectors. It’s a shame that Leema decided not to include digital inputs on their turntable; we’re sure that its excellent DAC would be useful to many.

The transport cannot be called ideally quiet – when loading a disc or changing a track, it hums slightly, and operations are performed a little slowly. From the first minutes of listening, it becomes clear that this is just a wonderful player. Like previous versions, Leema Antila IIs Eco has a very natural sound: the dynamics change smoothly, not abruptly; transitions are fast, but not abrupt; The soundstage is spacious, deep and focused. The abundance of details does not distract you from the main thing; You can listen to this player for a long time and with pleasure. The latest Leema Antila IIs Eco CD player has won awards from What Hi-Fi, Sound & Vision, Hi-Fi Choice, and Hi-Fi World.
