CD Players
Compact Discs aren't done yet, and strangely remain one of the great enigmas of Hi-Fi. 35 years after their introduction, we're still finding more ways to dig extra detail out of our CDs. Sure, everyone hears the Hi-Rez 192 super audio buzz words, but until you've actually heard a truly amazing CD player, you'll never know how good the humble red book can sound.

Rega Isis
Rega, usually so famous for their excellent turn tables, have launched their new reference class CD player and it is a thing of beauty. Moving away from a naming convention of heavenly bodies (and hence Roman deities) we have something distinctly more Egyptian in the Isis. Learn More -

Audio Research Reference CD6SE.... CD Player - Dac
Sonically, the CD6SE is a stunner, uncovering new musical detail in every corner of your recordings and providing startling dynamics, both micro and macro.

The recording venues are lifelike, broad and expansive or close-up and intimate, depending on what was captured by the recording engineer.

Audio Research Reference CD9SE
Audio Research introduced its first Reference series CD player in 2005 with the Reference CD7, then evolving into the Reference CD8. Both players received critical acclaim for their accuracy and naturalness. People still want to play their CDs, but they also want to add other digital sources such as computer audio and streaming to their music systems, so we created the Reference CD9SE CD Player/DAC. It combines the best of both, a super high-resolution compact disc player with a super high-resolution digital-to-analog converter that is stunning in its musicality.
