Simple, Smart, and Accessible: Music Hall cd25.3 CD Player Offers Class-Leading Performance and Features 32-Bit ESS SABRE ES9018K2M DAC, Smooth Transport

Got discs? The Music Hall cd25.3 CD player has got your back. Designed in the U.S.A. and offering class-leading performance, this 2.4 x 16.9 x 11.4-inch (HWD) component is dedicated to spinning silver discs with ultra-quiet operation and reproducing the data with engaging levels of detail, clarity, tonality, and depth — including rich bass, defined mid, and smooth highs. Hook it up to your preamplifier or integrated amplifier and prepare to reevaluate what you think about the ways your CDs really sound. Its secret weapon? A superb ESS SABRE ES9018K2M DAC, which offers nearly unmeasurable jitter and 32-bit/384kHz playback — features not often found at this price bracket.

Built to keep distortion down to a minimum, cd25.3 incorporates a vibration-damped transport, padded damping feet, and elegant casework topped by a brushed aluminum faceplate. A high-efficiency switch-mode power supply, one pair of gold-plated RCA outputs, and coax digital outputs further enhance its appeal. A remote control gives you the convenience and info you need.

Devoid of unnecessary bells and whistles, and devoted to what matters (fidelity!), the 11-pound cd25.3 serves as evidence of what can transpire from simple, smart engineering and not attempting to be all things to all people.

"For my money, the build quality and the sonics of the CD25.3 exceeded my expectations for a CD player at this price range. I enjoyed the sound reproduced so much that I am adding into my reference system moving forward."
