Key Features
- Top-loading transport design with a powered sliding lid covering a centrally housed drive chamber — a distinctive mechanical approach compared with conventional tray-loading CD players
- Matt black inner drive chamber, designed to absorb spurious light and reduce optical interference reaching the laser assembly
- Low-inertia magnetic centering puck, clamping the disc securely from above without the added mass and complexity of a screw-down puck
- Laser sled drive system, engineered by Roksan to offer finer tracking resolution than many transport mechanisms of the period
- Four-tiered suspension system isolating the drive mechanism from the plinth and main chassis, reducing the transmission of external vibration to the transport
- Further isolation of the main circuit boards to minimise the effects of microphony on sensitive digital signal paths
- 10-stage power supply regulation, with the servo mechanism and circuit board supplies kept separate for optimum performance
- Coaxial digital output for connection to an external DAC
- Full-function remote control included, as originally supplied
- Made in England
Technical Specifications
Detailed published specifications for the original ATT-DP3 are limited, as this is an earlier and relatively rare Roksan transport, distinct from the company’s current Attessa range. The following is confirmed from the unit itself and period sources:

- Digital Output: Coaxial (SPDIF)
- Mains Voltage: Selectable, 100–120V / 200–250V (as marked on rear panel)
- Fuse Rating: T250mA (200–250V) / T500mA (100–120V)
- Maximum Power Consumption: Approximately 10W
- Country of Origin: England
- Remote Control: Included (Roksan ROK-RC1)

Summary
The Roksan Attessa ATT-DP3 is a genuinely distinctive top-loading CD transport from an earlier era of Roksan’s history, with thoughtful mechanical isolation and a laser sled system designed to extract the best possible resolution from CD replay. This example is in great condition for its age, has been checked by Andrew, and is supplied with the original remote control. As with any vintage digital source component, buyers should factor its age into their purchasing decision. This is a single-unit listing. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions prior to purchase.
