Block CVR-10 silver

The Block CVR-10 combines a CD player, radio tuners, stereo amplification, and advanced network connectivity, all controlled by a dedicated app. Designed for music lovers seeking simplicity without compromising on quality, it stands out as a credible alternative to traditional multi-component systems.

Premium Build and Finish

The CVR-10 features a fully metal chassis with compact dimensions, allowing it to blend discreetly into most environments. Its 35 centimeters width and just 8 centimeters height create an elegant silhouette, enhanced by two available finishes: diamond-silver and sapphire-black. The front panel houses a 320×240 pixel color TFT display, clear enough to show essential information without overpowering the overall aesthetic.

The construction emphasizes sturdiness, with its 6.1 kilograms distributed in a compact volume. This density reflects the use of quality internal components and a power supply sized to properly drive the amplification stage. The brand logo is engraved on the top plate, a detail that highlights the attention to finishing touches.

Amplification and Sound Signature

The amplification stage delivers a nominal power of 2×30 watts at 4 ohms, or 2×25 watts at 8 ohms. While these figures may seem modest on paper, they come with reassuring technical specifications: total harmonic distortion below 0.05% and a signal-to-noise ratio above 83 dB. The frequency response ranges from 10 Hz to 26 kHz, more than covering the audible spectrum.

Comprehensive Analog and Digital Connectivity

The CVR-10 brings together all the connections needed by today’s audio enthusiast. On the analog side, four RCA inputs allow you to connect various sources, complemented by a front-panel line input for temporary connections. Outputs include speaker terminals compatible with 4 to 16 ohms, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and two RCA outputs: one variable and one fixed for recording.

The digital section offers current standards with a USB input, an optical S/PDIF link, and a coaxial input. This variety allows the CVR-10 to integrate into existing setups or accommodate future upgrades. The single HDMI 1.4 input expands connectivity options to modern video sources.

Radio and Streaming: Opening Up to the World

The CVR-10 is equipped with three radio reception modes: classic FM (87.5–108 MHz), digital DAB+, and Internet radio. The latter provides access to over 30,000 stations worldwide, turning the receiver into a window onto global musical diversity. Each mode has its own presets: 10 FM stations, 10 DAB+, and 40 Internet radio stations can be saved.

Wireless connectivity is based on dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz) and Bluetooth. The latter stands out for its stability over extended distances, a quality especially appreciated during practical tests. Support for DLNA and UPnP protocols, along with Spotify Connect compatibility, makes it easy to stream from smartphones, tablets, and home music servers.

Unified Control via the UNDOK App

All CVR-10 functions are controlled via the UNDOK app, available on major mobile platforms. This centralized interface simplifies access to different sources and allows remote control of all functions: input selection, audio settings, network content navigation, and system parameter configuration.

The app also manages multiroom functions, enabling synchronization of several compatible receivers in different rooms. This capability turns the CVR-10 into part of a distributed audio system, scalable to suit your needs and home layout.

Integrated CD Player: The Link to Physical Collections

The integrated CD player maintains compatibility with existing collections while supporting custom-burned formats. The mechanism reads standard audio CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs as well as MP3 discs. HDCD compatibility extends possibilities to high-definition recordings in this specific format.

This feature, now rare in modern compact systems, preserves the investment of music lovers attached to physical media. It naturally complements the digital offering without forcing a change in listening habits.
