How to get the best sound from your CD player

CD player: Arcam CD5.

We've all heard of the vinyl revival, but what about CDs? Well, they're enjoying a bit of a resurgence too, according to sales figures. We can see why. While they don't offer the full gatefold experience of vinyl, CDs offer a sense of physical ownership that you don't get with digital music. And CD players continue to impress – just check out the winner of our recent Temptation Award (or the also Award-winning pair of Marantz CD6007 and Cyrus CDi, for something more affordable).

But you don't have to buy a standalone player – many all-in-ones are getting CD players built-in alongside their streaming smarts, like the Technics SL-G7000M2, Technics SA-C600 and Audiolab Omnia.
