Arcam CDS50

SACD/CD player with Wi-Fi®

The CDS50 is Arcam's most advanced player to date.

Digital dynamo

The CDS50 is Arcam's most advanced player to date. It's built around a superb 32-bit/192kHz ESS Sabre DAC that makes sure your music sounds its absolute best. You'll hear every nuance encoded in an SACD recording, and it plays nicely with CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs, too. Connect your computer to give your high-res files the royal treatment, or use the player's built-in Wi-Fi for convenient streaming.

Convenient connections

The CDS50 has more connections than we're used to seeing on a disc player, because it can do a lot more. There are Regular balanced and unbalanced outputs, but there are also digital coaxial and digital optical inputs, because the DAC inside the chassis is so good, you'll want to run your other digital sources through it.

You can also connect a flash drive or hard drive to the USB input, for even more storage and playback options.
