This lot contains:

1x Cambrige - Audio Azur 840C - Stereo Compact Disc Player 
1x 220 Voltage powercord

The 840C marks the zenith of Cambridge Audio’s critically acclaimed Azur line up. Like all Azur products, the 840C promises unseen levels of performance and engineering excellence to the price points in question. But rather than redefining expectations in the entry-level market, the arena most often associated with Cambridge Audio, the company will reinvigorate the mid-end price sector.

The 840C embraces a raft of proprietary technologies including ATF (Adaptive Time Filtering) asynchronous up-sampling technology which has been developed in conjunction with Anagram Technologies of Switzerland. This system intelligently interpolates 16-bit/44.1kHz CD data to 24-bit/384kHz data, through the use of a 32-bit Analog Devices Black Fin DSP (digital signal processor). This in turn feeds two 24-bit/384kHz DACs from the same company in dual differential formation.

Each DAC handles just one channel for excellent stereo imaging, operating fully in differential mode for exceptionally low distortion and noise.

Both unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR outputs are fitted. Two digital inputs are also provided, which even allow the up-sampling and playback of other sources such as a DVD player via the Azur 840C. In addition, a recording digital output can even allow bit-for-bit data or upsampled data at 48, 96 or 192 kHz to be recorded by a suitable device.

A Control Bus In/Out, an IR emitter in connection and an RS232 port are provided for easy multi-room connectivity. The RS232 protocol enables a two-way interface with third party home automation touchscreens.

As with all Azur products, the foundation of the 840C’s excellence is a bespoke chassis. This comprises an incredibly thick 7 mm front panel and extruded side panels, both fashioned from aluminium, which combines with a 2 mm formed steel baseplate and specially designed vibration absorbing feet. The result is an ultra rigid, low resonance, acoustically dampened platform for the electronics to sit in.

Characteristics:

Adaptive Time Filtering (ATF) asynchronous up-sampling technology converting 16-bit 44.1 kHz CD data to 24-bit 384kHz
32-bit Analog Devices Black Fin DSP
Dual differential DAC configuration using high-end Analog Devices AD1955 DACs
Fully differential antialiasing topology based on linear phase Bessel filters
DC servo circuitry with no capacitors in the signal path

Two digital inputs allowing up-sampling and playback of other sources
Digital outputs allow recording of up-sampled audio
Control Bus In/Out, IR emitter in and RS232 for easy multi-room compatibility
Extruded aluminium side panels and solid aluminium front panel plus an ultra rigid, acoustically dampened chassis


SPECS:

Disc format: CD
Digital converter: 2 x AD1955A, 24 bit 384kHz
CD Mechanism: SF-P101N
Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz
Signal to Noise Ratio: 113dB
Total harmonic distortion: 0.0007%
Dimensions: 430 x 115 x 360mm
Weight: 8.5kg

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
<p>1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.</p>
<p>2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?
