Cambridge Audio AXC35 CD Player

A high-quality CD player with a Wolfson DAC, gapless playback, and coaxial digital output

The Cambridge Audio AXC35 brings your CD collection to life with clear, detailed sound and straightforward operation. Designed for music lovers who appreciate the simplicity and sound quality of physical media, the AXC35 combines a high-quality digital-to-analog converter with a dedicated CD playback system. Its elegant Lunar Grey finish and slim profile make it a natural partner for Cambridge Audio's AX Series amplifiers or virtually any other hi-fi system.

At the heart of the AXC35 is a Wolfson Microelectronics WM8524 DAC, which converts the digital information stored on CDs into an analog signal for your amplifier. A carefully designed 2-pole Butterworth filter supports accurate frequency response, while the player's low distortion and high signal-to-noise ratio help preserve the detail and dynamics of your recordings.

The AXC35 also features a coaxial digital output, allowing it to serve as a CD transport when connected to an external DAC or an amplifier with a compatible digital input. With gapless playback, intuitive controls, and a clear white LED display, it offers a practical and flexible way to enjoy your favorite albums.

High-Quality Wolfson DAC

The AXC35 uses a Wolfson Microelectronics WM8524 DAC to accurately convert digital audio from CDs into analog signals. Its 2-pole Butterworth filter contributes to a smooth, extended frequency response, while low distortion and excellent channel separation help maintain clarity, detail, and stereo imaging.

Gapless Playback for Uninterrupted Listening

Gapless playback allows tracks to flow into one another without unwanted pauses, preserving the continuity of live recordings, classical performances, concept albums, and DJ mixes. The AXC35 reproduces these recordings as intended, keeping the music moving naturally from one track to the next.

Flexible Analog and Digital Connections

In addition to its stereo RCA analog outputs, the AXC35 includes a coaxial S/PDIF digital output. This connection allows you to bypass the internal DAC and use an external digital-to-analog converter or a compatible amplifier's built-in DAC. Whether used as a complete CD player or as a dedicated transport, the AXC35 can adapt to your system.

Elegant Design and Simple Operation

The AXC35 shares the understated design of Cambridge Audio's AX Series, with a Lunar Grey front panel, black steel cabinet, and distinctive floating base. Its slim chassis fits comfortably into a conventional hi-fi rack, while clearly arranged front-panel controls and a white LED display make navigating your music collection easy. An included remote control provides convenient operation from your listening position.
