REVO, a prominent maker of digital audio products in the UK (Scotland) has announced the SuperCD audio system. This system was previously launched for the UK market but is being re-launched for music fans worldwide.
SuperCD Overview
The SuperCD combines built-in CD playback, digital streaming, and physical connectivity with a mid-century modern design for an attractive and practical compact home audio system.
The REVO SuperCD supports a wide range of playback options starting with traditional CDs but adding Radio (DAB/DAB+ for European users), FM, and internet radio. It also features easy connectivity with streaming services such as Spotify Connect, TIDAL, and Deezer.
From REVO: “We wanted to create a product that truly reflects the diversity of how people consume music today, The SuperCD gives listeners the freedom to enjoy their music in any format, without compromising on quality. Whether you’re playing a CD, listening to live radio, or streaming music, the SuperCD ensures you can enjoy it in hi-fi quality“
Classic Design with Modern Technology
The SuperCD has a mid-century modern look; its wooden cabinet and aluminum from panel are inspired by classic Hi-Fi systems of the past, while a 2.7-inch OLED display and precision-engineered controls hint at the modem tech beneath that is inside.
Inside the Super CD, there are Dual 3.5” BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) drivers supported by a 40-watt Class D amplifier that is designed to deliver great sound to listeners.
Connectivity
In addition to the built-in CD player and radio, the Super CD provides connectivity for additional content access.
Bluetooth 5.1 provides wireless access to streaming services from smartphones, tablets, or laptops. Its multi-room capability allows you to pair the SuperCD with other Revo devices throughout your home, creating a synchronized listening experience in every room.
In addition to wireless connectivity, the SuperCD also provides wired connectivity options that include a 3.5mm Headphone output, Optical Out, Wired LAN (Ethernet), USB Device Charging, Update Port, Aux-In, and Stereo RCA Out.
With the RCA out you can connect the SuperCD to an external amplifier or more powerful audio system.
Pro Tip: If you desire, you can also connect an audio cassette player or turntable to the SuperCD. However, for turntables, you either need it to have a built-in phono preamp or place an external preamp between the turntable and SuperCD.
You will also need a stereo RCA to 3.5mm stereo connector cable to connect either the cassette deck or turntable to the SuperCD..
Digital file support includes FLAC, MP3, AAC, and WMA file formats. A dedicated app (UNDOK) allows easy setup and control. The UNDOK app (iOS, Android) supports wireless multiroom connectivity for up to 5 Devices.
Control
The REVO Super CD provides users with intuitive controls and a large OLED display that makes navigation features and content access easy, while the included remote control and free smartphone app allow users to manage audio experience from anywhere in the house.
From REVO: “One of the key innovations of the SuperCD is how easy it is to use,…Despite the wide range of features, we’ve made sure that accessing them is straightforward. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or someone who just wants to listen to their music, the SuperCD offers a hassle-free experience.“

The Bottom Line
There are some great CD Players, and a lot of music streamers, amps, and powered speaker systems that provide a variety of input options, but sometimes it is great to have a modest system that can do it all for casual listening.
The REVO SuperCD brings that concept to the forefront with the combination of nostalgia and connectivity that might make a great system to have in your home, condo, or apartment, and it won’t put a large hole in your wallet.
Also, for those who have high-end audio systems in their main room, the SuperCD might be a great complement to a secondary room.
