The Cambridge Audio AXC35 CD Player combines cutting-edge digital audio technology with exceptional sound fidelity. Experience your CDs like never before, with precise audio reproduction and seamless integration into any audio system.
At the heart of the Cambridge Audio AXC35 is the advanced Wolfson Microelectronics WM8524 digital-to-analog converter (DAC), which facilitates superior sound reproduction by converting digital audio signals from CDs into analog signals with high fidelity. The frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz ensures accurate playback of the entire audible spectrum, while the low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at both -10 dBFS and 0 dBFS, measuring <0.01% and <0.006% respectively, means that the sound remains true to the source with minimal distortion. Additionally, the CD player employs a 2-pole Butterworth filter to manage frequency response smoothly while rejecting unwanted noise—factors essential in maintaining the integrity of audio signals. The built-in digital coaxial output provides an effective way to transmit digital audio to compatible amplifiers and external DACs without degradation, allowing for versatile configurations in modern hi-fi setups. With a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 95 dB, users can expect clear and dynamic sound reproduction across both quiet and loud passages, essential for an immersive listening experience.
