ARCAM celebrates its enduring commitment to Compact Disc with the launch of the CD25, a high‑performance CD player designed to bring every album closer to the listener. Building on a heritage that began with the Delta 70 in 1986, the CD25 distils decades of digital expertise into a modern, musically engaging design.

Created through inquisitive engineering and a deep passion for music, the CD25 is developed using objective measurement and extensive blind listening tests to ensure performance that is both technically precise and emotionally compelling.
