Features of the CS 2.3:

  • CD: The CS 2.3 includes a slot-loading TEAC Pure CD Drive, not a reworked DVD unit. It’s isolated from vibration and will play discs flawlessly for decades to come.
  • Streamer: AVM’s new X-Stream Engine utilizes Spotify Connect, Tidal, Qobuz, and UPnP and Webradio sources. It’ll handle any hi-res format including DSD; as new formats develop, the unit can be updated online, ensuring that obsolescence is obsolete. Coax and optical digital inputs are provided, along with USB stick input and HiFi Bluetooth 4.2. It’s Roon Ready as well, allowing use of the versatile music management system.

  • DAC: All digital signals are processed by the built-in upsampling ESS Sabre DAC.
  • Phono preamp: the built-in phono preamp works brilliantly with either a moving magnet or a moving coil cartridge; adjustable loading extracts the best sound from whatever cartridge is used.
  • Connectivity: Ethernet, WiFi, Apple AirPlay 2. The CS 2.3 can be used whole-house, with AVM’s Multiroom and Party Sync capabilities.
  • Amplification: The CS 2.3’s 100 watts per channel (into 8 ohms), bring out the best from any speaker, and tone and balance controls allow seasoning to taste.

The styling and build are classic AVM, clean and solid, with standard finishes in silver or black. The CS 2.3 is controlled by front panel controls or the RC X app for iOS or Android; the full-function RC 9 remote control with full color display is optional.

Germany’s STEREO magazine rated the CS 2.3 “Sound Quality: 100%”.

US retail price is $6,295, ($7,495 Canadian).
