Product Information
”Impressive musicality and maturity secure Arcam's mid-tier CD player its first What Hi-Fi? Award.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2026 award-winner.
Arcam’s new premium CD player
With a CD player heritage that stretches back forty years, who better than Arcam to bring you all the best in CD. The Arcam CD25 upgrades the award-winning CD5 with dual-mono DACs (Digital to Analogue Convertors), an upgraded power supply and damping, balanced outputs and more. The sleek design features a glass front panel and crisp OLED display for style to match its sound.
Dual-mono DACs for musical precision
Deploying dual ESS 9039Q2M 32-bit DACs with a matching ESS reference regulator, the CD25’s digital electronics take a big step up from the CD5 model. The dual-mono configuration means that left and right channels are independently processed, enhancing the stereo imaging and sonic precision. Musicians have more space around them, making it easier to pick out a particular performer.
Noise and vibration – silenced
Fitted with a low noise, linear power supply, the CD25 has an ultra-quiet backdrop. This lets the most subtle musical details shine through, improving the micro dynamics for a more lifelike sound. The vibration-damped disc mechanism further improves clarity and musical accuracy by damping away external vibrations.
Connects to all types of systems – including balanced outputs
Four types of outputs make the CD25 easy to connect to a wide range of different systems. For amps fitted with XLR balanced inputs, use the Arcam’s outputs for studio-grade connectivity. Use the digital optical or coaxial for connection to an AV receiver or high quality digital amplifier. For amplifiers with no digital or balanced inputs, connect via the analogue RCA outputs.
Premium design
Sporting a glass-fronted facia, with crisp OLED display, the CD25 stands out as a premium CD player. The luxury construction continues with the metal faced remote control handset.
Treat your CD collection to Arcam’s ultimate, with the CD25.
