CD / SACD players and transports — Exposure 3510 CD Player

The 3510 CD Player is a CD player from Exposure, a British manufacturer known for straightforward, sonically focused electronics without unnecessary feature complexity, built around the well-regarded PCM1704 conversion chip. The 3510 CD Player brings Exposure's considered engineering to disc-based digital source playback.

Key specs that matter

The PCM1704 conversion chip handles digital-to-analogue conversion, a well-regarded R2R chip found across numerous respected high-end digital source components. Frequency response for CD playback spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio for CD reaches 100dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.007%. At a slim 90 x 440 x 300mm and 5kg, the 3510 CD Player maintains a compact chassis height.

Sound and use context

Expect the direct, clean character Exposure's broader amplifier range is known for, combined with the well-regarded PCM1704 conversion chip's characteristic natural, low-distortion presentation.
