Arcam CDS27

Still too new?

Hey, Sean34. I think your right in that the CDS27 is still too new. So there is not much info on it and many of the other new products Arcam has introduced over the past year.

I hope to get either the CDS27 or the UDP411 from Arcam. The CDS27 uses a different DAC chip than the CD17. The CDS27 uses the same higher end Burr-Brown 1794 chip as the Arcam UDP411 universal player.

Sorry, I can't compare the CD17 to the CDS27. I do know that I've enjoyed the Arcam rDAC and the FMJ A19 amp that I have been using for the past year that I plan on staying with Arcam when I get a new disc player.

Cheers,

Scott

Thanks Samac. What is most attractive to me is the ability of the cds27 to take all new digital formats, however, I do still consider sound quality number one.

I have a CDS-27 on order from Audio Advisors. It is due into the States the first week or so in February and then it will be shipped to all the dealers. I am replacing a Oppo 105.

Corgidog59, when you have a chance please give us your impressions of the CD27 and how it compares to the Oppo. Thanks for any insight you can provide.
