Arcam DiVA | CD73 | CD player
The CD73 is Arcam’s most affordable CD player and the successor to the world famous CD72, an acknowledged design classic with many tens of thousands in everyday use. Put simply, the CD73 is a wonderful sounding CD player with a performance broadly equal to players that might cost twice as much from other brands. The CD73 includes the latest generation 24-bit DAC from Wolfson MicroElectronics, plus a double-sided, through-hole plated motherboard and a low noise toroidal power transformer. It also incorporates Arcam’s latest thinking in grounding and power supplies. Together these provide the player with a sound that will captivate all who listen.
Arcam CD players have always offered a well balanced and detailed sound, and the CD73 represents a another significant step forward at this price level. The quality of the sound is complemented by the superb build quality. Furthermore, if you decide to improve your system, by simply adding the appropriate Arcam DAC module, the CD73 is readily upgradeable in the future to CD82 or CD192 performance.
The CD73 is a perfect partner to the Arcam A65 Plus amplifier. Together with a T61 tuner these components form an entry level DiVA system that makes a sound which is unbeatable at the price.
For the foreseeable future CD will continue to be the only viable format for music lovers who want choice and variety in their listening. The current repertoire of hundreds of thousands of titles has been created over the past 21 years. If you want the very best performance from this vast library, and movies are not a priority, then we recommend that you invest in an Arcam CD player. The Arcam design team has consistently produced ground breaking CD players for more than 15 years. Now, using additional techniques learnt from developing Arcam’s acclaimed FMJ CD23 and CD33 models, the CD73 and CD192 players represent complete solutions for people who want the best sound at very reasonable prices.
Internal construction is to a very high standard and audiophile quality parts are used in all critical signal areas. The all-metal case design is both compact and stylish.
All Arcam CD players come with a custom designed remote control, which also allows you to control the volume level of matching Arcam amplifiers in the range. The players are simple to use and the full function remote handset can access features like 20 track programming, memory, repeat and display on/off. These CD players support CD Text, where present on a disc, and can replay most audio CD-R and CD-RW discs. For easy recording and multi-room use, all models provide both optical and digital co-axial outputs as well as two pairs of line level analogue connections.
