Arcam CD25 CD Player

Introducing the Stunning CD25 CD Player from Arcam
 

The definitive Radia Series CD player, combining decades of audio expertise in celebrattion of the enduring value of physical music.

The ARCAM CD25 is a high-performance CD player developed from almost four decades of ARCAM digital audio expertise, combining precision engineering with modern circuit design to deliver exceptional Compact Disc playback.

The CD25 features a low-noise linear power supply and a Compact Disc mechanism mounted on an internal vibration-damping chassis for stable, accurate signal retrieval.

Digital-to-analogue conversion is handled by a dual-mono DAC design using two ESS ES9039Q2M DAC chips with ESS reference voltage regulators. Each DAC independently processes one channel in balanced mode, ensuring excellent channel separation and low noise.

Balanced XLR outputs make the CD25 an ideal partner for the ARCAM A50 Signature and SA45, while line-level RCA outputs allow seamless integration with the A25+ and SA35. The result is the best-sounding CD player ARCAM has ever produced.
