A noticeable improvement in CD sound quality

 

I can hear the difference in sound between this player and my "old" CD player. My CDs are now much more on a par with the quality of sound from my turntable. The music streamer side of the CD Player did not seem that good from the spec and other...

Great sound, shonky streaming app...

 

Bought this after my NAD M5 died and couldn't be repaired (shocking for an £1800 player). I have a large SACD collection I wanted to be able to play, and this is now the cheapest stereo SACD player on the market. As other reviews mention, the sound is...

Great Sound

Quality CD/Streamer

 

Purchased to replace my geriatric cd player on the basis of known Arcam quality, attractive sleek looks & an "in" for me into streaming the CDS50 does not sonically disappoint given enhanced detail, soundstage & rhythm. Only gripe (and loss of a star)...

Skeptical but very suprised

 

I bought this a couple of weeks ago to replace a FMJ27 Arcam CD player, that I've had since 2001. I wasn't sure if it would live up to my expectations, as the FMJ had performed very well, but it sure has, as I use it more it just seems to get better &...

Super quality sound and great features but..

 

This CD player has a wonderful natural clarity about it to my ears, and the network features are great. Great detailed balanced sound with great clarity in the higher frequencies. But... One unfortunate flaw for me. My entire music collection is ripped...
