WOW! A great purchase. The additional digital inputs that can be variably processed is a nice benefit. I cant find anything to dislike about this product. I connect it directly to my Grace headphone amp with the AKG K701 phones and the sound challenges or exceeds that of albums I have in my music library.

"Budget Component of the Year" -- The Absolute SoundSilver Medal "Best CD Player Between $1200 and $2400" 2008 - Hi-Fi Choice Magazine "Short List" Favorite Product 2008 - The Absolute Sound Magazine"The Best CD playback under $5,000 -- for $1499" The Cambridge Audio 840C upsampling CD player manages to surpass the performance of the critically acclaimed, award winning 640C. And that's no small feat. The 840C is based on a critically acclaimed proprietary Cambridge Audio CD transport and servo solution along with proven Sony laser optics.
The January 2008 issue of The Absolute Sound magazine named the Azur 840C its 2007 "Budget Component of the Year."
"Best CD Playback I've Heard"According to The Absolute Sound's Editor-in-Chief Robert Harley, "The Cambridge 840C CD player delivers the best CD playback I've heard from any player under $5K -- and it costs $1499." In fact, says Robert, in the September 2007 issue of The Absolute Sound, "The 840C is packed with advanced features, sophisticated technologies, and high-quality parts that one finds in digital products costing upward of $10K."
"Not only is the 840C easily the greatest value in digital sources in my experience, it must be considered one of the greatest bargains in all of high end audio," concludes Mr. Harley.
"Competitive with $6K CD Players"The Absolute Sound magazine honored the Cambridge Audio 840C with a "Short List" favorite product recommendation in the Digital Sources Under $2K category in its January 2009 issue, praising its "sound quality that's competitive with $6K CD players."
Hi-Fi Choice Award WinnerEngland's Hi-Fi Choice magazine was so enamored with the 840C that in its Awards 2008 issue it honored it with a Silver Medal for "Best CD Player Between $1200 and $2400."
"Sumptuous, musical sound, fine build and a welter of facilities, make this a superb mid-price machine... thoroughly recommended," trumpets the February 2007 issue of England's Hi-fi World magazine.
The 840C was the Winner of the CD Player 'Ultimate Group Test' in the March 2007 issue of England's Hi-Fi Choice magazine. "Voices are very well differentiated from each other and free from any trace of sibilance. In short, the Cambridge is very good indeed."
Adaptive Time FilteringThe 840C's advanced technology is coupled to an all new and highly sophisticated Adaptive Time Filtering (ATF) asynchronous, upsampling DAC, developed by Cambridge Audio in conjunction with Anagram Technologies of Switzerland.
The ATF system intelligently interpolates 16-bit, 44.1 kHz CD data to 24-bit, 384 kHz data, through the use of a 32-bit Analog Devices 'Black-Fin' DSP. This, in turn, feeds two 24-bit, 384 kHz DACs from the same company in dual differential formation. The result is amazing high-resolution from standard CDs, reveal a level of detail you never imagined possible from non-SACD source material.
Huge Sense of Stereo SeparationNot only does each channel of the 840C has its own DAC to process information, but each channel also has completely separate analog filter circuitry, yielding a huge improvement in stereo separation over less ambitious designs. Because of the separation of left and right audio converters, this completely new DAC board for the Azur series embraces a perfectly symmetrical layout.
This ensures that both left and right channel circuitry operate identically. These enhancements ensure that the 840C delivers fantastic soundstaging and stereo imaging properties. The dual differential configuration also offers superior signal to noise ratios and exceptionally low distortion characteristics.
Comprehensive Filtering for Ultra Low DistortionThe 840C features a Four Pole Dual Differential Double Virtual Earth Balanced topology. This means the DAC for each channel features two fully balanced outputs, each of which are then summed in a third order virtual earth balanced filter stage for very low noise and distortion. This balanced configuration largely rejects any slight remaining distortion products present in the DACs. Then a further first order filter stage sums the balanced outputs of the earlier filter stages to reject the distortion products present in the filters.
Superior Chassis and Wireless RemoteThe foundation of the 840C's excellence is a custom-designed chassis. An incredibly thick aluminum 7mm front panel and extruded side panels combine with a 2mm formed steel base plate and specially designed vibration absorbing feet. The result is an ultra rigid, low resonance, acoustically damped platform for the electronics.
The LCD provides two levels of brightness, and the new 'Navigator' wireless remote is highly ergonomic, making operation a pleasure.
"The Best CD playback under $5,000 -- for $1499" "The Cambridge 840C CD player delivers the best CD playback I've heard from any player under $5K -- and it costs $1499. Not only is the 840C easily the greatest value in digital sources in my experience, it must be considered one of the greatest bargains in all of high end audio."
"Even if your budget for a CD player is considerably more that $1499, I encourage you to audition the Cambridge 840C. In fact, I could easily live with the 840C at the front end of my $100K reference system -- it's that good."
- Editor-in-Chief Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound, September 2007
"Best CD Player Under $1,600""... a genuinely innovative CD player of extraordinary ability given its price point. Its sound is beautifully subtle and refined - truly, an 'open window' on the music being played."
- Hi-Fi Choice Awards 2006 , December, 2006.
"Sumptuous, musical sound, fine build and a welter of facilities, make this a superb mid-price machine... thoroughly recommended."
- Hi-Fi World, February, 2007.
"One of the most involving and rewarding music replay machines we've come across at such a sensible price and an excellent partner to the fine 840A amplifier. There simply isn't a CD player at the price that offers anywhere near as much!"
-Hi-Fi Choice, November, 20

2000年时的万元机还可以 呃! 恩,哪天脑子热了,弄个随便玩玩。 据说840C强在DAC,转盘一般。
如果是这样的话,我更倾向于 3300R+ DA10:lol Cambridge 这个牌子就没什么意思 更愿意选择moon CD1 这个价位我选CEC TL53Z 又来了 剑桥倒是一直不缺杂志帮他吹 看回Cambridge的历史,不论声音怎样,他家的DAC挺愿意用新技术的。
在自己价位算是比较进去的。 原帖由 mayao11 于 2008-12-18 16:11 发表 http://bbs.headphoneclub.com/images/common/back.gif

啥? Cambridge 840C单独做解码器,其水准如何?
看它的芯片是瑞士Anagram,其他用这个芯片的解码器都是赫赫有名的牌子,如Nagra、 Audio Aero、 Orpheus、 AudioMeca,当然价位也是赫赫有名的.........
并且使用DSP升频384KHZ ,指标方面是相当先进了.....
它独立用作解码器时,能PK掉DA10吗? 我想提一个不是很高班的型号:马兰士SA15S1:lol W元机还是2手里看看吧,也有LL的机型. 原帖由 niujiajun 于 2009-3-9 17:29 发表 http://bbs.headphoneclub.com/images/common/back.gif

840 pk 不掉da10
da10也 pk 不掉 840
再说了,为啥要PK呢?如果真是840的用家,我觉得就不会考虑da10了,重复投资。
