Roksan M2 CD Player

Exceptional Sound Quality

If it's the very best in CD sound quality you're after then you've come to the right place. With a sack load of awards under its belt, the Roksan Caspian M2 is simply one of the finest sounding CD players under £2000. Typically from Roksan, the Caspian M2 puts resolution and dynamic scale as top priorities. Every nuance of musical detail is clearly articulated in a way you may never have heard from hi-fi before. There's also an effortless power that can drive the strongest of rhythms for a totally absorbing performance.

Audiophile-Grade Construction

The main reason for the Caspian M2's class-leading sound quality is the painstaking attention to detail shown in design and construction. Highlights include a decoupled, isolated laser mechanism and super-precision master clock that ensures the laser tracks as accurately as possible, relying less on error correction and more on the actual digital signal. An independent analogue output stage power supply ensures a lack of corruption between the digital and analogue signals. Put together, these make the Caspian M2 one of the most natural and precise-sounding CD players out there.

All the Basics Covered

While the Caspian M2 CD player doesn't have anything like as many features as some, it does have all the basics covered. So you get basic programming and repeat functions that you'd expect, but don't always get on a high-end CD player. Similarly, there are both optical and coaxial digital outputs as well as the usual RCA analogue phono outputs. These allow for the use of an even better DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor) or digital recording device. Please note that Roksan's CR7 remote control is now included with this CD player.
