Few specialist manufactures have ever stepped up to
the plate and succeeded where development of digital
disc playback is concerned. The technological know-how
required for the successful design of high performance
digital audio sources is vast. With more than twenty-ve
years of digital audio experience, not to mention global
recognition of its efforts, Arcam is proud to announce the
arrival of its newest disc player, the CDS27.
To ensure the CDS27’s music performance meets
“reference” standards the class leading TI/Burr Brown
PCM1794 digital to analogue converter (DAC) is used.
This device, coupled with a linear phase Bessel output
lter and high precision re-clocking system results in a
level of audio quality required in a dedicated audiophile
CD player. Even the CDS27’s power supply has been
specially designed for outright performance. Discreet
sub-regulated power supplies on the drive, audio and
DAC boards deliver signicant benets to the overall
performance of each element and thus allow each section
to work truly independently and without interference.
UPnP and CIFS compatibility allow for effortless
integration into networks allowing the CDS27 to access
stored content with ease.
“UPnP streaming
added to SACD/CD
playback makes this
likely the only source
you’ll ever need.”
George Robertson - Far East Sales manager

As with all its FMJ devices, Arcam has gone to incredible
lengths to maximise the performance of this next
generation player. As an example the CDS27 benets
from a critically damped cover and chassis to virtually
eliminate damaging microphonic vibration from reaching
the sensitive electronics inside.
The CDS27 is designed with a single purpose; to deliver
the very best music experience for discerning owners.
It also features a full suite of discrete IR, IP and RS232
codes making it perfect for integration within a high
performance home cinema installation.
The CDS27 is designed in the UK and is available in a
discrete black nish.
