CD Players

A beautiful CD player that looks the timeless classic that it sounds. Crispiness and a neutral truthfulness to the sound are its sonic characteristics.

It's also an SACD player with XLR balanced out which for this price bracket is a real bonus. Generally, one has to spend upwards of $5000 for a half decent SACD player.

Sonically this is a very polite and neutral device, slow but smooth in mechanical operation and beautifully made.

We love the elegant aesthetic of the new Marantz chassis but that's not the only thing making this a futuristic unit.

It has streaming built-in so you can find your favourite music easily and conveniently using your prefered music streaming service.

A lovely rich warm sound, a little more so than the Denons.

Naim is one of the best of English HiFi brands harking from Salisbury where their design and manufacturing facilities are located. They are one of the true high-end electronic brands that make gear like their Statement Amplifiers retailing for a cool $375,000 for a set.

This little CD player is their entry level but for most people this doesn't represent your typical first-time-buyer HiFi component. It's intricately thought out, meticulously engineered, clean and musical. 

The typical comparison is with Rega and Cyrus CD players, both english and both also in our inventory. The Naim is more transparent sounding than a Rega Apollo, finding more detail and space in the music. It's closer in performance to the bigger (and more expensive) Rega Saturn. The Saturn, however, has a richer tonality to it than the Naim. A bit more 'rounded' on the treble. The Cyrus CDi, has a similar sound signature and as a half size unit it offers a convenient footprint. The slot mechanism will never be a perfectly reliable solution for a CD player though and what Naim has done with their tray and resonance reduction is really admirable.

In conclusion, this is a unit to throw into the mix from one of the best manufacturers out there. It may well be the perfect unit for you. Feel free to call us to talk more and have a read of some of its stellar reviews from well trusted HiFi institutions.

Naim products bought from us, a genuine approved Naim dealer, include the full 2 year warranty.

The M3scd has been designed to give outstanding CD reproduction and to be a digital hub. In addition to CD it has 3 digital inputs: coax, optical and asynchronous USB.

This makes it particularly useful for set top boxes and/or TV sound improvement. The technical performance is excellent; it has very low distortion, extremely low jitter, excellent signal-to-noise ratio, extremely flat frequency response, exemplary linearity and excellent channel separation.

All in all the M3scd gives excellent CD replay and can act as a versatile digital hub at the same time.

This is our budget sacd player. SACDs are a special type of CD that stores more information on them than ordinary CDs. They store the music in DSD format so instead of taking little slices of the music very quickly and piecing it back together into an analogue sound wave at the other end, it stores the whole nice analogue sine wave.

This makes them more musical, less digital sounding.

It's a great option to have on a CD player to be able to read the full SACD layer but it normally comes with a hefty (above $5K price tag). 

Rip it. Download it. Store it. The VAULT 2i lets you rip all your CDs in bit-perfect, high-resolution formats or copy your existing music library to the VAULT 2i’s hard drive. Hook it up the to your existing sound system, or pair it with a set of powered speakers and stream your digital music collection in studio-quality.

The new CD player from Marantz continues the classic Maratnz line and Japanese manufacturing. A beautiful unit perfect for those who have a cherised collection of CDs.

Of course it's been engineered to be paired with a Marantz amplifier but that's not a necessity, this will be a competitive unit to be matched with arange of good quality amplifiers.

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 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.

On display now at Carlton Audio Visual.

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.

Come have a listen to the new range at Carlton Audio Visual now.

A beautiful CD player with serious resolution for the sub $1000. Musically alive and even at this price point, you can discern it's Marantz heritage. Marantz have been makingCD players for decades now and their expertise really shines through.

This is also a very versatile unit able to play all of your favourite formats off a USB on the front panel. Additionally, it has a killer Headphone amplifier built in! 

This is a run out model now and this price is only valid for the last remaining Black unit we have in stock. New in a Box

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.

On Special for Black Friday ending on the 27th of November or when stocks run-out. Please contact us for up-to-date availability on colours.

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.

We've got one unit in Black of this Attessa Transport. It is an open box, perfect condition and comes with all accessories as well as full warranty.

A great opportunity for you to buy a handy and nice transport.

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! 

This CD player is a solid performer. There are no plastic bits in this CD player - it is made out of real metal. Reliable and clear sounding unit at an affordable price point.
