One of a kind, the One CD player from our stylish Choral range, home of the legendary DAVE DAC/headphone amp, is a beautifully designed disc player with all the Chord Electronics sound and build quality trademarks you’d come to expect. The One is our entry-level CD player and remains the most affordable way to into Chord CD player ownership. In keeping with our flagship Blu transport, the One retains our unique, professionally die-cast top-loading disc mechanism, setting it apart from the conventional.

Based around a Philips CD-Pro2M mechanism, the One CD player features the latest 128x oversampling 24-bit/192kHz convertors and thanks to its BNC digital coaxial S/PDIF digital output, can be easily upgraded to reference standard, using devices such as our DAVE DAC, for the ultimate performance.

The One CD player further ensures the best possible musical performance thanks to a fully buffered, true balanced analogue output stage.  For added flexibility with a wide range of partnering equipment, both RCA and XLR balanced analogue outputs are included.
