La 840C segna l'apice della linea
Azur acclamato Cambridge Audio in su. Come tutti i prodotti Azur, il
840C promette livelli mai visti di eccellenza di prestazioni e di
ingegneria per la fascia di prezzo in questione. Ma invece di ridefinire
le aspettative nel mercato entry-level, l'arena più spesso associato a
Cambridge Audio, l'azienda darà nuovo slancio al settore mid-end prezzo.
La 840C abbraccia una serie di tecnologie proprietarie tra cui
ATF ™ (Adaptive Time Filtering) asincroni fino -tecnologia di
campionamento che è stato sviluppato in collaborazione con
Anagram
Technologies della Svizzera. Questo sistema intelligente interpola i
dati 16-bit/44.1kHz CD di dati 24-bit/384kHz, attraverso l'uso di un
32-bit Analog Devices Black Fin DSP (Digital Signal Processor). Questo a
sua volta alimenta due DAC 24-bit/384kHz dalla stessa società in
formazione differenziale duale. Ciascun DAC gestisce un solo canale per
un'eccellente immagine stereo, che operano completamente in modo
differenziale per la distorsione eccezionalmente bassi e il rumore.
entrambi sbilanciati RCA e uscite XLR bilanciate sono dotati. Due
ingressi digitali sono forniti anche che anche consentire l'up-sampling
e la riproduzione di altre fonti, come un lettore DVD tramite il 840C
Azur. Inoltre, un'uscita registrazione digitale può consentire anche bit
per bit di dati o dati sovracampionati a 48, 96 o 192 kHz per essere
registrati da un dispositivo adatto. Una Control Bus In / Out, un
emettitore IR in connessione e una porta RS232 sono forniti per una
facile connettività multi-room. Il protocollo RS232 permette una
interfaccia bidirezionale con touchscreen di terze parti domotica. Come
tutti i prodotti Azur, il fondamento di eccellenza del 840C è un telaio
su misura. Questo comprende un pannello frontale di spessore
incredibilmente 7mm e pannelli laterali estrusi, entrambi ricavati da
alluminio, che si combina con un formato piastra di base in acciaio 2mm
e piedi a vibrazione appositamente progettato assorbente. Il risultato è
un ultra rigida, bassa risonanza, acusticamente smorzato piattaforma per

"The 840C, which won our 2007 Product of
the Year Award, is characterized by a smooth, suave, and sophisticated
treble that fosters immediate musical involvement. Moreover, its
midrange and treble are extremely clean and free from grain, glare, and
hardness. Soundstage depth and dimensionality rival players costing
$10k... A great CD player at an unbelievable price."

"If
it's hi-end you're looking for and can't seem to get your hands on
enough money, the Azur 840 combo is just what you should get. In fact,
even if you do have the money to afford a diamond studded amp, these
guys are worth a listen and a spot on your audio room's shelf."
AV Max (India) February 2009
(Reviewed with 840A V2 Class XD amplifier)
"Incredibly
detailed, impeccably neutral and possessed of more than a hint of
high-end assurance. A technical tour de forceby any standards."
Hi-Fi Choice January 2009
(Reviewed with 840A V2 Class XD amplifier)
"The 840C shatters the price/performance equation in CD playback with
sound quality that's competitive with $6k players, standing out for its
ease, smoothness, resolution, dimensionality, and stunning spacial
presentation."
The Absolute Sound Editors' Choice Awards (USA) October
2008
"두말 할 필요가 없는 좋은 결과....특별히 흠잡을 부분이 없을 만큼 인상적인 소리를 냈다."
"Needless to say, it is a great result... It delivers an impressive
sound which is above criticism."
Audio (Korea) September 2008
(Reviewed with Azur 840E pre and 840W power amplifiers)
"For a digital front end, there's no greater bargain than Cambridge
Audio's Azur 840C. The bottom line is that the 840C's sound (and
technology) is as good as most players costing $5k."
The Absolute Sound September 2008
"Un équilibre très réussi assure une restitution très juste du timbre
mais aussi du volume de chaque instrument. La limpidité immaculée du
registre supérieur garantit par ailleurs une lisibilité absolue."
"A very successful balance ensures a great sound for the volume of each
instrument. The immaculate clarity of the higher register guarantees
absolute transparency in addition."
Le Monde de la Musique (France) September 2008
"... een zelfverzekerd, helder en vloeiend klinkende cd-speler."
"... an assured, clear and fluent sounding CD player."
Hi-Fi.NL (The Netherlands) July 2008
"... flexible functions, excellent measured performance... a highly
rhythmic performer with a natural, unexaggerated sound."
Hifimailma (Finland) June 2008
"...
wipes the floor with the rest of the bunch. The way it extracts
information from the disc and presents it without bias or congestion is
up there with players costing two or three times its ticket price."

"Ultra-smooth
and civilised sound... highly featured (for the price) and
technologically very sophisticated.

"Depurado
lector dotado de upsampling capaz de hacer que las notas, texturas y
matices particulars de las piezas suenen como los originales."
"Pure CD player equipped with upsampling ablility to produce notes,
textures and particluar shades exactly like the original recordings."

"Every
now and again, a component comes along that seems to have been made by
people unaware of what might reasonably be expected of such a thing, so
they happily exceed every reasonable expectation. The 840C is just such
a something. If you're at the point in your hi-fi development where you
need a player to help you understand what a performer means by their
music, and those sort of players are never cheap, I'd advise starting
your search here. If you can't afford more, just get one."
Audio Enz (New Zealand) February 2008
"Very
close to perfection in all aspects of measured performance, the 840C
showed very low distortion, exceptional channel separation, flat
frequency response, and exemplary channel balance... the package as a
whole merits Recommendation."
Hi-Fi Critic January/February 2008
"It
has the smoothness, resolution, grace, and refinement generally heard
only in ultra-expensive digital front ends. The 840C's treble is unlike
that of similarly priced players, with a sophistication and delicacy
that defy its price point... Bargains don't come much bigger than the
840C."
The Absolute Sound (USA) January 2008
(Included in 'Budget Components of the Year')
"Looks wise these products have an expensive feel to them, which will
make every owner happy just looking at them... the sound is so good it
will give the competition a real headache. The digital inputs on the
840C which makes a simple and very effective upgrade for other digital
sources is the icing on the cake . Taking everything into account we can
conclude that we have a hit in front of us."
Hi-Fi Media (Croatia) #69
(Reviewed with the Azur 840A Class XD amplifier)
"Een
bijzonder aanbevolen set: alle drie zijn van bijzondere klasse, zowel in
het gebruik als in kwaliteit. Ook de bouw ziet er puik uit. Wanneer u
het geld er voor (over) heeft zult u niet gemakkelijk iets vinden met
dezelfde faciliteiten, geluidskwaliteit en afwerking."
"A set highly recommend: all three are of exceptional class, in terms of
quality and use. The build quality is superb. If you have the money you
won’t find anything with the same facilities, sound quality or finish."

"El 840C es un lectore de CD que, al igual que todos los miembros más
destacados de la serie Azur de Cambridge Audio , reúne sofisticaciones
tecnológicas normalmente reservadas a aparatos bastante más costosos."
"The 840C is like most of the products in the Azur range in that it uses
sophisticated technology normally reserved for more costly equipment."
Alta Fidelidad (Spain) November 2007
"Cambridge Audio's top CD player remains the disc spinner to beat at
this price, just like last year... the Azur 840C's sound is both musical
and detailed, with first-rate imaging and clear vocal articulation. This
one's a keeper."

"Not only is the 840C easily the greatest value in digital sources in my
