About the CD73T

The Arcam CD73T is a stereo compact disc player known for its excellent sound quality and build. It uses a Wolfson WM8740 24-bit multilevel Delta Sigma DAC for superb linearity and low distortion, with a frequency response from 0.3Hz to 20kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio of 112dB. The player supports CD-Text and is compatible with most CD-R and CD-RW discs. It features two sets of analog outputs (gold-plated RCA), coaxial and optical digital outputs, and a low noise toroidal power transformer with six separately regulated power supplies. The CD mechanism is a Sony KSS-213CL, chosen for reliability. The unit includes a remote control and supports upgrade paths to higher-end Arcam models (CD82T or CD93T). Its chassis is robust with audiophile-grade components such as Nichicon Fine Gold capacitors and WIMA polypropylene capacitors in the output filters. The CD73T is praised for its balanced, detailed sound with controlled bass and smooth treble, making it a strong performer at its price point.
