Sometimes you have a good amplifier, a stack of discs, and you simply want to connect one box and hit play. A transport-only deck won't do that on its own, and a cheap all-in-one often sounds thin and hard. The AXC35 sits right in that gap: a full CD player with its own converter, priced to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we recommend the AXC35\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AXC35 is a complete player. It reads the disc and converts it to analogue in one box using a Wolfson WM8524 DAC running up to 24-bit\/192kHz, then sends a clean signal straight to your amplifier over standard RCA outputs. If you'd rather use a better converter later, a coaxial digital output lets the AXC35 double as a transport, so it grows with your system instead of boxing you in. Gapless playback keeps live albums and classical works flowing the way they were recorded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the specs won't tell you\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlug in and play, no extra boxes.\u003c\/strong\u003e The built-in Wolfson DAC means you connect one cable to any amplifier's line input and you're done. Clean, detailed sound with none of the setup a separate transport and converter would ask for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoom to grow if you want it.\u003c\/strong\u003e The coaxial digital output lets you bypass the internal converter and feed an external DAC down the road. Start simple now, and the AXC35 becomes a transport later without being replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusic the way it was recorded.\u003c\/strong\u003e Gapless playback means no silent stumble between tracks on a live set or a seamless album, and the player reads MP3 and WMA data discs as well as standard CDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the reviewers heard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat Hi-Fi awarded the AXC35 a solid four stars across sound, build, and features, calling it a slim, fuss-free CD player that fits beautifully within the AX range, with clean, detailed sound that's very capable for the price. Hi-Fi News echoed the point, describing the AX components as stylish and well made, and noting they punch above their weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Audio Two verdict\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the CD player we recommend when someone wants disc playback to be simple. It's a complete player, so it works with any amplifier straight out of the box, and the coaxial output means it can serve as a transport if you add a better DAC later. For a clean, honest, well-built way back into your CD collection without building a separates rack, the AXC35 is the sensible choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\"A slim, fuss-free CD player that fits beautifully within its AX range.\" — \u003cem\u003eWhat Hi-Fi?\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTech you can hear\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Hear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It Happens\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClean, detailed sound straight to your amp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in Wolfson WM8524 DAC, up to 24-bit\/192kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne-cable simplicity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnalogue RCA output feeds any amplifier directly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA future upgrade path\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoaxial digital output lets it work as a transport\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeamless live and classical albums\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGapless playback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlexibility with your discs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReads CD, CD-R, CD-RW plus MP3 and WMA data discs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull CD player with built-in Wolfson WM8524 DAC (up to 24-bit\/192kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalogue RCA output plus coaxial S\/PDIF digital output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan double as a CD transport into an external DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGapless playback; reads CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3 and WMA discs (no SACD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes remote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions 430 x 75 x 305mm, 4.3kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Hi-Fi four stars; Hi-Fi News recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Audio Two\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio Two ships across Canada.
