The definitive Radia Series CD player, it combines precision engineering with modern dual-mono DAC design to deliver exceptional Compact Disc playback and celebrate the enduring value of physical music. Coming soon to Vinyl Sound Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDual-mono DAC architecture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigital-to-analogue conversion is handled by a dual-mono design using two ESS ES9039Q2M DAC chips with ESS reference voltage regulators. Each DAC independently processes one channel in balanced mode, delivering superior channel separation, lower noise, and a more precise, spacious stereo image. The result is the best-sounding CD player ARCAM has ever produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEngineered for accuracy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA low-noise linear power supply provides a stable, ultra-quiet electrical foundation that lets fine musical detail and dynamic contrast emerge clearly. The Compact Disc mechanism is mounted on an internal vibration-damping chassis to minimise mechanical interference for cleaner data retrieval, improving timing accuracy, clarity, and overall musical coherence. Every CD25 is ARCAM-tuned through blind listening tests, combining objective accuracy with musical engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlexible system matching\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBalanced XLR outputs make the CD25 an ideal partner for the ARCAM A50 Signature and SA45, while line-level RCA outputs allow seamless integration with the A25+ and SA35. Digital optical and coaxial outputs let you connect an external DAC. The CD25 also plays CD-R and CD-RW discs, including WAV, FLAC, MP3, and AAC data files.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompact Disc player\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDAC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual-mono, 2 x ESS ES9039Q2M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupported media\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCD (Audio), CD-R, CD-RW (Audio \/ Data)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupported files\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWAV (LPCM), FLAC, MP3, AAC; 16-24 bit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 optical, 1 coaxial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnalogue outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 RCA pair, 1 XLR pair (balanced)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax analogue output (RCA \/ XLR)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.2 \/ 4.4 V RMS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal\/noise ratio (16-bit \/ 24-bit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e93 dB \/ 115 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 Hz-20 kHz plus\/minus 0.1 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax power consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandby power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLess than 0.5W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (W x D x H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e431 x 329 x 84 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNet weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat DAC does the ARCAM CD25 use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe CD25 uses a dual-mono DAC design with two ESS ES9039Q2M chips and ESS reference voltage regulators.
