Azur Compact Disc Players
340C
Like its bigger brothers, the 340C delivers class leading performance using
proven high quality Sony laser optics and the same Cambridge Audio servo
circuitry found in the award-winning 540C and 640C.
Digital to analogue (DAC) conversion comes courtesy of respected
chipset manufacturer Crystal. Its CS4338 24-bit/96kHz DAC is coupled to
an audio-grade operational amp filter/output stage and benefits from a
high quality power supply.
540C
The Azur 540C boasts performance, build quality and a specification to
embarrass not just its immediate rivals, but many CD players costing at
least twice the price.
Features include the latest generation
WM8716 24-bit/192kHz DAC (digital to
analogue converter) from highly respected
manufacturer Wolfson, a custom Cambridge
Audio servo solution and transport, proven
Sony laser optics and proprietary data re-
clocking for exceptionally low jitter.
Completing the package is a slim-line, elegant remote handset that
offers complete access to the 540C’s wide range of features.
640C
Cambridge Audio’s flagship 640C builds on the features of the 540C.
Despite its recent world launch, the 640C has already scooped a best buy
award from leading publication
What Hi-Fi?
, which described it as ‘
a fine all
rounder… way beyond what we’d expect of a player at this price
’.
With a completely separate power supply and upgraded anti-aliasing
filters and regulator stages, the 640C benefits from incredibly low
distortion and excellent signal to noise ratio with a high specification
Wolfson WM8740 24-bit/192kHz DAC. This results in the delivery of a
huge dynamic range and a wonderfully clear, clean sound.
