Pathos Digit Reviews

Pathos Acoustics has established an enviable reputation as a purveyor of ultra-smart audio equipment that performs to high sonic standards, while successfully treading the fine line that exists between style-driven and audio-purist kit.

Killer looks, No-prisoners approach to tonal accuracy and control, Well judged dynamics over a wide range, Plenty of detail and adept with solo voice

Slightly constrained imaging at times, Occasional trace of grain

A worthy rather than earth-shattering performer in its class, the Digit is not quite uniformly successful across musical styles. However, what it does well it does very well indeed, and that, plus unique styling, should ensure it a place in many hearts.

The Pathos can take on any hard-driving tune and leave the ring without a scratch. Well-crafted player with verve and a rhythmic bite

Pathos's entry-level CD player is a great one: it's up there with the very best at this price

Poor remote handset; odd proportions won't suit all kit supports

A sweet and involving sound; loads of detail; excellent build and finish
