Condition is unknown, but at £287 this sits below the £304 25th percentile and well under the £332 median, so it reads as a strong deal in the current used market. Against the £373 75th percentile, it is comfortably on the buyer-friendly side rather than ambitious.
That makes it an attractive buy if it’s complete and working properly: this is a well-regarded British CD player with a solid reputation for musical, slightly forgiving playback and generally sensible engineering. For a clean example, the upside is good value rather than speculation; just make sure the drawer, laser lock, and all remote/operational functions are behaving, because at this price you want a straightforward plug-in-and-enjoy piece rather than a project.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
