Product Summary
The ARCAM CD25 is a premium Compact Disc player designed for music lovers who still value the focus, feel and sound quality of physical music. Sitting within ARCAM’s Radia Series, it brings decades of the brand’s digital audio experience into a modern, beautifully engineered CD player built for serious listening.
At the heart of the CD25 is a dual-mono DAC architecture using separate ESS ES9039Q2M DAC chips for the left and right channels. This design helps improve channel separation, lower noise and create a more spacious stereo image, allowing your CDs to sound clean, stable and musically engaging.
The CD25 is built around a low-noise linear power supply and a vibration-damped disc mechanism, helping the player retrieve information from your discs with greater stability and precision. It is designed to make CD playback feel vivid and involving, whether you are rediscovering long-loved albums or enjoying a carefully built disc collection.
With both balanced XLR and RCA analogue outputs, the CD25 can be partnered with a wide range of amplifiers, including ARCAM’s Radia Series models. Optical and coaxial digital outputs are also provided, giving extra flexibility for systems where the CD25 is used as a high-quality disc transport.
