"Best CD Player" Award-Winner "A Rare Kind of Machine" Cambridge Audio's Azur 640C v2 CD player won What Hi-fi? magazine's "Best CD Player Under £500" honors, and that takes in a lot of territory. The Azur 640C v2 is the newly enhanced version of the critically acclaimed Azur 640C. It features improved audio circuits and power supply for what What Hi-fi? calls "stunning sound," along with other carefully thought-out improvements. "The biggest change is the introduction of two DACs, one per channel in dual differential mode," reports England's Hi-Fi Choice magazine for June 2006. The new four-pole dual differential double earth balanced topology "means that each channel has two fully balanced outputs that are summed, in order to 'largely reject distortion,' and then filtered again to reject noise?" According to What Hi-fi? magazine, "This Cambridge is a rare kind of machine, particularly at a budget price level, in that it has no real weaknesses." "Cambridge is King" Rave reviews around the world for the 640C v.2 show no sign of abating. "Cambridge is king? This player has to be heard to be believed," reports the March 2006 issue of England's Smartlife magazine. "If you are the kind of person who uses a DVD player to listen to CDs, one listen to this and you'll soon stop." "The latest 640C is highly listenable, even with a wide listening window," says Hi-Fi Choice magazine. "It can produce a convincing sense of acoustic space thanks to its smooth, extended high frequencies and underpins with good bass weight?"
