A Key Component of the Tangent Mini-System: Compact, Coherent, Modern
The Tangent CD II was designed as one of the central elements of the brand's mini-system, alongside the Tangent Ampster BT II and the Tangent Tuner II. The goal is clear: to rediscover the pleasure of CDs in a modern Hi-Fi setup without the bulk of a traditional system. With a height of about 7 cm per device, the set maintains a discreet, clean silhouette that is easy to integrate, even when components are stacked to form a complete system.
This "mini components" approach allows for an expandable setup: you can start with the CD player, then add amplification and tuner as needed. The CD II fits into a range designed for easy installation, coherent aesthetics, and connectivity suited to separate Hi-Fi systems.
Who Is the Tangent CD II For and In Which Uses Does It Excel?
The Tangent CD II is aimed at those who want to re-listen to their CDs with true Hi-Fi logic while keeping a minimal footprint. It is perfect for listeners who already have an amplifier (or active speakers with analog input) and want to add a reliable, immediate, and enjoyable source for everyday use.
In a living room, office, kitchen, or bedroom, its compact size facilitates integration where a standard player would seem too bulky. It is also an excellent choice if you like to alternate between commercial CDs and personal burned compilations, while maintaining simple navigation via the remote control.
Connectivity, Control, and Design: The Essentials, Well Thought Out
Analog and Digital Outputs: Choose Your Best Connection
The CD II offers an RCA analog output to connect directly to an amplifier or active speakers. It also includes an optical digital output, convenient for feeding the digital input of a compatible amplifier or an external converter, enabling a "lossless" signal transmission chain.
A Remote Control to Simplify System Use
In line with the Tangent mini-system concept, the CD II's remote control is designed to also operate compatible devices from the same family (notably the Ampster BT II and Tuner II). The result: a smoother daily experience, whether the components are stacked or placed separately. You can centralize your controls and keep a clean, minimalist setup.
Compact Design and Built-in Power Supply: Clean Installation, Space Saving
Thanks to its compact design, the player fits easily into setups where every centimeter counts. The internal power supply contributes to a tidier installation, with fewer external blocks to manage around the Hi-Fi furniture. The CD II is therefore designed for quick integration, visual discretion, and to let you focus on what matters: your music.
