The asking price of £1,299 for the Roksan Blak CD Player sits just above the median of £1,176 from your ground-truth listings, making it a fair deal rather than a bargain or an ambitious overprice. While the current retail price is around £2,500–£2,799, this used asking price reflects a solid value drop for a well-regarded mid-range model, especially given sales of CD players are climbing again.
This player is highly respected for its isolated CD mechanism, which minimizes vibrations to deliver stunning high-quality audio, and it offers robust connectivity with both RCA and XLR outputs plus digital options. At this fair price, it’s a worthwhile buy for enthusiasts seeking a reliable, well-engineered CD source without the premium cost of new units, provided it’s in good condition and includes standard accessories.

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.
