Cambridge Audio AXC35 - Separate CD Player for HiFi System Featuring Gapless Playback and Wolfson DAC with Digital Out - Lunar Grey

After many years the CD holder of my previous Cambridge Audio CD player finally stopped going in and out of the machine: it had broke. I told an audio buff friend of mine that I was in the market for a new CD player. He said that he had just bought this model himself, based on good reviews in specialist audio magazines. So, being highly recommended and at the lower price of the hi-fi separates price range, I ordered the AXC35. It was delivered the next day, via courier, from Cambridge Audio. From what I have heard so far, I have not been disappointed. The sound is crisp and clear. If you are in the market for a CD player at the lower price range for hi-fi separates, then this is a very good purchase, in my opinion.

Excellent player, good quality sound and easy to set up and use at a reasonable price. Looks good too!

Disappointed, vocals held back,on low volume could hardly hear them Evan normal listening felt like I needed an equaliser to bring vocals forward.

Very high quality piece of equipment. The sound produced through my Bose speakers is crystal sharp. From the research I did, I really think this is the best item for the money.

Very could quality of sound Works well with existing system.

Linked the cd player with a refurbished Linn LK1-LK2 amp, Linn Kan2, active, bi-wired speakers, Linn Kan spiked speaker stands, Linn connects, Linn cable etc,..What a sound, what a set-up for 'cd and lp', starts with the source, for 349 it's really good value, I'd love to spend more on a player, aka a Naim, but the CA35s within my budget, probably upgrade the DAC when I have the sponds, I'm having cancer treatment at The Christie, and deffo need my tunes for some sort of distraction therapy when i'm at home, what a sound and it all starts with the source, seeing cd players for 50+k, interesting to hear the difference, i'm a big follower of 'hand-me-down technology', the 35 player has that, decent reliable British electronic engineering, glad i bought one and got this stereo set-up, be hard to beat I reckon, happy days!

Excellent sound quality.Fantastic minimalist look.Superb build quality.

a well made and great sounding piece of kit only let down (just) by a bog standard remote control.an aesthetically pleasing appearance only adds to the appeal and when paired with the similar designed amp you have a great start to reasonable hifi system.
