With the addition of a digital coaxial output, the AXC35 offers the perfect blend of performance and flexibility, allowing you to connect it to a wide range of amplifiers or external DACs.

CD SOUND COMES FIRST

The AXC35 has been designed with one goal in mind: to retrieve every piece of data from your discs and convert it into a rich, musical signal. The Wolfson WM8524 DAC at its heart ensures that the conversion from digital to analogue is handled with accuracy, delivering a sound that is clear, balanced, and engaging. Whether you are revisiting old favorites or discovering new music, the AXC35 reveals nuances you may have missed before.

ENHANCED CONNECTIVITY

While the AXC35 is an excellent standalone player thanks to its high-quality analogue output, it also offers a digital upgrade path. The dedicated S/PDIF coaxial digital output allows you to bypass the internal DAC and send a raw digital signal to a higher-end external DAC or a digital amplifier. This flexibility ensures that the AXC35 can grow with your system, serving as a high-quality CD transport if you decide to upgrade your conversion hardware later.

GAPLESS PLAYBACK

Nothing breaks the immersion of a live concert recording or a continuous DJ mix like an unwanted silence between tracks. The AXC35 supports gapless playback, ensuring that audio flows seamlessly from one track to the next, exactly as the artist intended. This feature is particularly important for classical music enthusiasts and fans of progressive rock or concept albums.
