The CD73 is Arcam’s most affordable CD player and the successor to the world famous CD72, an acknowledged design classic with many tens of thousands in everyday use. Put simply, the CD73 is a wonderful sounding CD player with a performance broadly equal to players that might cost twice as much from other brands. The CD73 includes the latest generation 24-bit DAC from Wolfson MicroElectronics, plus a double-sided, through-hole plated motherboard and a low noise toroidal power transformer. It also incorporates Arcam’s latest thinking in grounding and power supplies. Together these provide the player with a sound that will captivate all who listen.
