Description
The Definitive Radia Series CD Player
The Arcam CD25 is a high-performance CD player developed from nearly four decades of Arcam digital audio expertise, combining precision engineering with modern circuit design. It features a low-noise linear power supply and a disc mechanism mounted on an internal vibration-damping chassis for stable, accurate signal retrieval.
Digital-to-analogue conversion is handled by a dual-mono design using two ESS ES9039Q2M DAC chips, each independently processing one channel in balanced mode for exceptional channel separation and low noise. Balanced XLR outputs make it an ideal partner for the Arcam A50 Signature and SA45, while RCA outputs allow seamless integration with the A25+ and SA35.
