Cambridge Audio
The 840C marks the pinnacle of Cambridge Audio's acclaimed Azur line up. Like all Azur products, the 840C promises unprecedented levels of performance and engineering excellence for its price range. But instead of redefining expectations in the entry-level market, the arena most often associated with Cambridge Audio, the company will bring new impetus to the mid-end price sector. The 840C embraces a number of proprietary technologies including ATF™ (Adaptive Time Filtering) asynchronous up-sampling technology that was developed in collaboration with Anagram Technologies of Switzerland. This intelligent system interpolates 16-bit/44.1kHz CD data into 24-bit/384kHz data, through the use of a 32-bit Analog Devices Black Fin DSP (Digital Signal Processor). This in turn powers two 24-bit/384kHz DACs from the same company in dual differential formation. Each DAC handles a single channel for excellent stereo imaging, operating fully differentially for exceptionally low distortion and noise. Both unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR outputs are equipped. Two digital inputs are also provided which also allow for up-sampling and playback of other sources such as a DVD player via the Azur 840C. Additionally, a digital recording output can also allow bit-for-bit data or data upsampled at 48, 96 or 192 kHz to be recorded by a suitable device. A Control Bus In/Out, a connecting IR emitter and an RS232 port are provided for easy multi-room connectivity. The RS232 protocol allows a bidirectional interface with third-party home automation touchscreens. Like all Azur products, the 840C's foundation of excellence is a custom-made chassis. This includes an incredibly thick 7mm thick front panel and extruded side panels, both machined from aluminium, which combines with a 2mm thick steel baseplate and specially designed vibration absorbent feet. The result is an ultra-stiff, low-resonance, acoustically damped platform for the electronics to sit on Click here to read Hi-Fi Choice 93% staggering 'Best Buy' review of the 840C
