Description
The Tangent CD III CD Player continues the legacy of its predecessor, the CD II, by introducing a range of improvements that enhance both sound and usability. Designed in Denmark, this model combines minimalist elegance with high-quality audio engineering, making it a perfect addition to any modern hi-fi setup.
With a compact design measuring just 200 mm wide, 65 mm high, and 200 mm deep, it fits easily into a variety of spaces without compromising on performance. Weighing only 1.6 kilograms, the Tangent CD III offers convenience, portability, and precision in a sleek, understated package.
Seamless and Enjoyable Listening
One of the standout features of the Tangent CD III is its new gapless playback function, ensuring uninterrupted listening between tracks. This makes it ideal for enjoying live concert recordings or continuous albums that flow seamlessly from one song to the next.
The intuitive front display provides clear track information and easy navigation, while the supplied remote control allows effortless operation from across the room. Whether you are revisiting old favourites or exploring new releases, the Tangent CD III ensures that every listening session feels natural, fluid, and emotionally engaging.
High-Quality Sound and Components
The Tangent CD III is engineered for outstanding audio performance, powered by the SC6135B 16-bit DAC running at 44.1 kHz stereo resolution. This ensures precise digital-to-analogue conversion, preserving the warmth and detail of your music.
The player features both RCA stereo outputs for analogue connections and an optical Toslink output for digital setups, allowing flexibility in system configuration. Its frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and signal-to-noise ratio greater than 80 dBA guarantee clarity and fidelity across all genres of music. The result is a sound signature that is open, detailed, and true to the original recording.
Built for Reliability and Convenience
With its integrated 100–240V power supply, the Tangent CD III is ready for use worldwide and consumes less than 0.5W in standby mode, meeting the latest energy efficiency standards. Its lightweight yet sturdy build ensures long-lasting performance, while its precise internal layout minimises vibration and interference.
Every detail, from the smooth disc mechanism to the polished control interface, reflects Tangent’s commitment to quality craftsmanship. The inclusion of a system remote adds extra functionality, allowing seamless control when paired with other Tangent devices for a fully unified experience.
A Perfect Blend of Form and Function
The Tangent CD III CD Player embodies the balance between Scandinavian design aesthetics and high-end hi-fi performance. Its black finish, simple geometry, and elegant proportions make it an understated centrepiece for any modern audio system. Designed for those who value both style and sound, it brings new life to your CD collection while maintaining a timeless appeal.
Whether used as part of a full Tangent system or integrated into an existing setup, the CD III represents a thoughtful evolution in digital audio playback that prioritises purity, precision, and ease of use.
