Making way for new models of Cyrus, it's time to sell off our well-loved floor stock. In perfect condition, this unit comes with box and all accessories.

This is HiFi made like it should be. Simply good quality, paying attention to lowering the noise floor and keeping things simple where you can. It makes this unit into a musical delight and resolving in equal measure.

CD Players are considered an endangered species in the market so it might appear that Rotel are slightly brave to be releasing a new high end model at the moment. However in our part of the market CD layers are alive and thriving as they are purchased by people who have advanced and numerous CD collections that cannot be qualitatively matched by streaming sources. The Rotel 1572 CD Player is a good example of this ... although a plain jane disc spinner product it has intrinsic good sound and build quality that just keeps selling steadily. The DT6000 improves on that engineering for sound and longevity even further and in fact sets a new standard for a Rotel product in this category. The DT6000 is also a state of art Digital to Analogue converter that allows you to use a full range of digital sources as inputs without the redundancy of another external DAC component.

This is part of a new wave of retro practical good sounding stereo receivers that are finding a place in homes as practical high fidelity devices. In a way they are a riposte to the exuberant age of surround sound amplifiers that have dissapointed purchasers by offering features over quality.

This new model RN800A ticks a lot of boxes with a decent phono input and a range of practical analogue and digital inputs, including that contemporary cherry being the HDMI EARC input. It is a very substantial device with classic Yamaha build quality and represents excellent value for money.

This is a really nice combination in one unit. Touted as the only source you'll ever need. This unit combine a CD player, Tuner, Streamer and DAC.

Like all of the Advance Paris gear, it ticks the boxes for convenience and in-one-box simplification.

A streaming amplifier that will give you wireless capability with existing speakers. 

Bluesound operating system is easy to use making this a hassle free, great sounding product.

The MX DAC has been around for a while now (since 2016) and it still surprises. For such a little box, 220mm x 220mm, and a relatively affordable price, this unit ticks boxes that much bigger and pricier units don't manage.

It has XLR outputs so future system upgrades will be well catered for. It also has all the digital inputs you could possibly what in this modern age: 2 x coax (up to 24bit 192 kHz PCM), 2 x optical (up to 24bit 192kHz PCM) and asynchronous USB up to 24bit 192 kHz PCM as well as DSD 64 and DSD 128.

Also, all inputs whether from coax, optical or USB, are processed in the DSD domain. This desirable feature gives a warmth and humanity to the sound that simple digital conversion doesn’t achieve.

And its the sound of this unit that really surprises. Rich and detailed, musical and nuanced. Stuff that units double its price can struggle with, sound sublime. 

Come give this beauty a try, you won't be dissapointed.

A fantastic compact unit with everything all in the one box and great sound quality to boot. 60W per channel is nothing to sneeze at. It does particularly well paired with some Acoustic Energy AE100 bookshelf speakers.

We've always loved the ease of use, reliability of Rotel CD players. But the RCD-1572MKII is more than that. It's detail and musicality within a very cool retro-esque chassis. You can't help but fall in love with this unit!

Not much has changed from the RCD-1572 to the MKII version except for the DAC. They are now using Texas instrument DACs. This was born out of practicality because sourcing DACs in the post COVID world has become problematic. However, the Texas instrument DACs are anything but a downgrade in sound quality! 

Again Advance Paris has produced a high quality CD player that out does its competitors with some very cool features for its price point. 

This CD9 is a modest $1299 and for that you get an analogue tube output stage....oooohhh la la.

Advance Paris is the refashioned French brand, Advance Acoustic. They have changed their name and completely redesigned their units. They sound a lot more musical than they did previously.

A limited edition streamer from streaming heavyweights, Bluesound.

Celebrating 10 years making streaming products, Bluesound has released the Node X that has some major upgrades on the standard Node (N130).

• Higher quality Hi-Fi Sabre DAC instead of the standard Burr-Brown DAC
• Better Headphone amplifier with a full-size 1/4 inch jack output.
• Super smart silver finish

And then the inclusions that the Node (N130) has as well:

• HDMI eARC
• Top panel controls with Presets
• Both receiver and transmitter of Bluetooth apt X HD. That is you can send its signal to a set of wireless headphones or it can accept a bluetooth signal from any personal device.

With slightly more power than the standard Powernode, you'll have more control over your speakers for a better sound.

Also in the case that you have lightly harder to drive speakers, this will give you the extra headroom to drive them nicely.

Bluesound have been making streaming equipment now for 10 years and their products sound clean and musical without having to pay through the nose. 

Their app and software is very easy to use and they are being used more and more in serious HiFi components. Cyrus and Roksan are two of the handful of HiFi brands that are now part of the Bluesound ecosystem. 

This means it's now easier to build a whole home system with Bluesound products dotted throughout the house and all controllable via the one user friendly app.

A high quality interface that enables you to connect your 2go streamer to other devices that are not the Hugo 2. Essentially it acts as a network bridge when connected to a Hugo2.

Allowing you to enjoy the best in class streamer on a multitude of different devices.

The HEOS Amp is designed to add HEOS multi-room audio functionality to a pair of stereo speakers, and features the same wireless ease of use as our self-powered HEOS speaker models.

Featuring advanced Class D digital amplification, the HEOS Amp delivers 100 watts maximum power per channel, with lowest distortion and high current capability that provides reliable and stable operation with lower impedance speakers, including 4 ohms models.

A proper piece of HiFi that will cater for all the latest in streaming technologies. With Heos streaming on board, it makes it super easy and convenient to use via a free to download app.

A cool feature with this unit, is its Alexa voice control.

In 1989, Rotel confirmed its digital audio expertise with the launch of the RCD-855 CD player. The press was overwhelming in its praise, one critic going so far as to call it “The steal of the century”, and since then Rotel has never looked back.

The new MkII version of the CD14 has changed the DAC from a Wolfson to a Texas Instruments DAC. The word on the grapevine is that this was only sparked by a shortage in availability of Wolfson DACs in a realigned DAC chip marketplace. The Mark II is surpringly similar to the original in sound and outward appearance.

Designed to pair with the matching streaming amplifier, Roksan have made some interesting choices in the design of their new CD transport.

Uniquely, you can control this CD transport via the BluOs app. This is the software system developed for BlueSound components. If you already have BlueSound, the Attessa units will integrate perfectly into your home multi-room audio setup.

As the name suggests it is purely a transport with no Digital to Analogue Converter attached and therefore needs to be connected to an amplifier with a DAC or a separate DAC unit. Do note, there is only one digital out of this unit, a Coax out, so you'll need to use that connection on a DAC. Coax digital connection is what we suggest you use for such digital connections anyway.

It forms a sleek integrated system with the Attessa streaming amplifier where it its design and functionality will shine.

This is the model 130 node that slightly confusingly has less numbers on the box than the earlier model. This is the update for the model 2i and Bluesound has made some quality-of-life improvements under the hood of the new products with a new quad-core ARM Cortex A53 processor and a new DAC that operates at 32-bit/384 kHz and supports audio resolutions up to 24-bit/192 kHz.

The new units also include HDMI eARC and also have a lower signal-to-noise ratio of -113 (down from -110dB) and THD+N of 0.002% (down from 0.005%). The inclusion of the HDMI makes the new Node more media-center friendly, with the ability to hook it up to your TV and entertainment system. There have been some design improvements with an enhanced full-glass touch interface and precise volume slider.

As well as listening to the NODE through a conventional hi-fi system, users can also listen via headphones or even Bluetooth headphones thanks to an aptX HD transmitter as well as receiver.

The Bluesound aesthetic remains, with a sleek looking box (in either black or white), and intuitive touch controls. You'll want to put it in a central location and show this thing off. All your music is ready for listening at the touch of a button.

The Yamaha CDC 603 is a unit that has time warped from the 90s, a 5 Disc cd changer! 

Yes kids, in a time long ago before even the ipods walked this earth, there were multi disc players that could play tracks at random.

And here they are again! 

Detail and precision that retains musicality in a unit well under the $1K mark. Advance Paris have suceeded in making sure their cd player has the characteristic sound signature as their amplification.

A couple of handy features on this unit as well. Balanced and digital outputs gives the unit a versatility and performance unrivalled at this pricepoint.
