This is a buyer’s market for this category at £850: against the recent comparable GBP listings, it sits well below the £1,487 25th percentile and far under the £2,124 median, so it reads as a strong deal rather than a merely fair ask.
That makes it worth a close look, because this is a respected CD player in a line known for solid build and a clean, engaging presentation that can still be very satisfying with a good transport and DAC section. At this price, the upside is straightforward: if it’s complete, functioning properly, and has been looked after, you’re getting a serious hi-fi source for a relatively modest outlay. I’d just want confirmation of smooth tray/loading behavior and reliable disc reading, since age-related mech issues matter most on players like this.

Roksan emerged in London in 1985, founded by Tufan Hashemi and Touraj Moghaddam, two Persian-heritage graduates of Imperial College London and Queen Mary College. Dissatisfied with prevailing turntable designs, they launched the groundbreaking Xerxes platform at that year's hi-fi show, challenging traditional construction and establishing the brand's reputation for radical innovation. Named after Roxana, daughter of Persian King Darius, Roksan infused its identity with cultural roots while rooting itself firmly in British audio engineering.
The brand specializes in high-fidelity components, starting with its iconic analog vinyl replay systems like the Xerxes turntable and Artemiz tonearm. It expanded into amplifiers (Kandy, Attessa, Caspian series), CD players, digital sources, and speakers, blending timeless design with robust engineering. Now hand-built in Rayleigh, Essex, under the Monitor Audio Group since 2016, products like the latest Caspian Series 4G cater to both vinyl enthusiasts and modern streamers.
Roksan occupies a distinctive niche in the high-end hi-fi market as a stylish British disruptor, prized for its boundary-pushing sound quality, reliability, and unconventional aesthetics. Far from mid-tier or vintage obscurity, it commands respect among discerning buyers seeking musical soul over conformity, with a legacy revitalized rather than diluted by its corporate home.
