Yes, it will also communicate the music’s message beautifully. Yes, this Roksan will resolve the tiniest detail. Speaking of which, the Roksan prefers a slightly smooth and full-bodied balance which helps give one of the friendliest and most likeable presentations we’ve heard at this price. The softly suspended CD transport is an unusual touch, but it minimises the amount of vibration fed in to and out of the mechanism to the benefit of performance. The M2 CD has an immensely solid, well-damped feel that suggests it will be working for years to come. It remains one of the best players at £2000 (around $2700, AU$3700).
#EZ CD AUDIO CONVERTER REVIEW FULL#
Read the full review: Marantz CD6007 The best premium CD playerĭespite being around for nearly a decade, the Roksan Caspian M2 CD is still going strong. Owners of the CD6006UK needn't rush to change their player but the CD6007 is most definitely the right choice for first time buyers at this end of the market. Stereo imaging is focused and expansive, and there are even a few digital filters to tweak the sound to your tastes. It's precise, clean and delivers for dynamics at every inch of the spectrum. What does all that mean? It makes your music sound great. That chip allows the CD6007 to process high-resolution files through USB-A on front socket, supporting PCM music up to 24-bit/192kHz and DSD128. It has a quieter power supply and improved HDAM amplifier modules, helped along by a sprinkling of higher-quality internal components, not least of which is the change of DAC chip to an AKM 4490. You'll need to go back a decade and four model cycles to find a CD6000 that looks notably different, so it's the insides where Marantz has made the improvements to their CD players count. Each CD player has a star rating based on our test findings, so you can trust that when you make a purchase you'll be buying only the best. If you want to give your CD collection a fresh spin and are looking for the best disc player to buy, you'll find multiple suggestions for both here.Įvery recommendation on this list has been thoroughly tested by the team of experts at What Hi-Fi? in our dedicated listening rooms. The list below includes both fully equipped CD players, which have a digital-to-analogue converter built in, and CD transports, which can only read the data on the disc and require an external DAC to work. It's still shy of the billion discs sold in 2000, and vinyl (and streaming of course) outstrip CD sales by far, but it's nice to know that those of us who never replaced our disc collection aren't alone. According to data from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), CD shipments in US rose by 47 per cent in 2021 compared to the previous year (from 31.6 million to 46.6 million). CDs are also enjoying a resurgence for the first time in over 15 years.
