GoKawiilPS Audio, Naim halt CD player production as optical drive suppliers exit market
PS Audio has stopped making its PMG Super Audio CD Transport after D&M, Marantz's parent company, ended external sales of its optical drives, even after PS Audio bought up D&M's remaining stock. Naim similarly halted production of its Uniti Star after its unnamed drive supplier ceased manufacturing before a replacement could be secured. Both companies are keeping limited drive inventories solely for repairs, even as eight new CD players from brands like Musical Fidelity, Marantz, Arcam and NAD continue launching.
