Cambridge Audio AXC35 CD Player
The Cambridge Audio AXC35 CD player is built to pull out musical detail from standard disc collections. It works well as a source in a traditional home sound system. One of its main features is true gapless playback, which keeps music flowing without pauses between tracks. This is useful for live recordings or albums where tracks are meant to run together.
The AXC35 uses a Wolfson Microelectronics WM8524 converter and a two pole Butterworth analog filter for digital to analog conversion. This setup helps keep total harmonic distortion low, under 0.0006 percent at 1 kHz. The player reads more than just standard CDs. It can handle home recorded CD R, CD RW, and CD ROM discs, and it supports MP3 and WMA files. For connections, there are standard analog stereo RCA outputs for hooking up to an amplifier. There is also an S S/PDIF digital coaxial output with an output impedance below seventy five Ohms. This digital output can be used for direct recording or for sending audio to an external converter if needed.
The player comes in a slim metal case that measures 75 by 430 by 305 millimeters, so it lines up with most standard audio gear. It weighs 9.5 pounds. Power use is modest, with a maximum draw of 15 Watts when playing and less than half a Watt in standby. This makes it a straightforward choice for adding to an audio setup.
