Arcam CD25 Signature

Arcam CD25 Signature

ARCAM celebrates its enduring commitment to Compact Disc with the launch of the CD25, a high-performance CD player designed to bring every album closer to the listener. 

Building on a heritage that began with the Delta 70 in 1986, the CD25 distils decades of digital expertise into a modern, musically engaging design.

Created through inquisitive engineering and a deep passion for music, the CD25 is developed using objective measurement and extensive blind listening tests to ensure performance that is both technically precise and emotionally compelling.

At its core is an all-new dual-mono DAC design, combined with a low-noise linear power supply and a vibration-damped disc mechanism. 

Together, these elements deliver exceptional detail, dynamics, and clarity, reaffirming the musical relevance of Compact Disc in a modern hi-fi system.

The CD25 stands as the finest CD player ARCAM has ever produced — a perfect partner for the Radia Series and a celebration of physical music, brought vividly to life.

• Dual-Mono DAC Architecture delivers superior channel separation, lower noise, and a more precise, spacious stereo image.

• Low-Noise Linear Power Supply provides a stable, ultra-quiet electrical foundation, allowing fine musical detail and dynamic contrast to emerge clearly.

• Vibration-Damped Disc Mechanism minimises mechanical interference for  improving timing accuracy, clarity, and  overall musical coherence.

• Balanced and RCA Analogue Outputs ensures optimal system matching with Radia Series amplifiers and others.

• ARCAM-Tuned via Blind Listening Tests combines objective accuracy with musical engagement, ensuring sound quality that is both technically precise and emotionally involving.

• Plastic free packaging for easy disposal or natural materials
