This CD player and amplifier receive a 4/5 from TechRadar. The unit produces good detail in the midrange and treble and offers good imaging, but the bass can be a little vague.

"It takes some doing, these days, to build smart audiophile products in Europe to a retail price of £600. The Audio Analogue Crescendo CD player and amplifier units are very nicely finished, with solid aluminium front panels, individual but easily usable ergonomics and a general feeling of class that one just doesn't expect at the price. There are some very intelligent features, too, on the amp. The volume knob is a push 'n' twist control, which when briefly prodded switches to the next input."
