Cambridge Audio Azur 650C Black CD Player, Model CAMB650CB
Taking performance even higher, the 650C builds on the 550C by optimising a
pair of WM8740 24bit/ 192kHzcapable DACs implemented in a dual differential
configuration. Since each channel has its own DAC to process information, completely
separate and symmetrical analogue filter circuitry can be implemented for excellent
imaging. The 650C also features the more sophisticated Four-Pole Dual Differential
Double Virtual Earth Balanced version of this filter resulting in an incredibly
low noise floor, barely measurable distortion and ultimately unprecedented levels
of performance.
After extensive listening tests, Cambridge Audio’s engineers decided that it
was possible to raise the performance of the trusted Wolfson WM8740 DAC (Digital
to Analogue Converter) to even greater levels and so this legendary 24bit/192kHz-capable
DAC proudly features once again. But now, it’s been coupled to a new version
of our proprietary Double Virtual Earth Balanced filter topology with Bessel
Coefficients resulting in even greater musicality. These Wolfson DACs also feature
a selectable digital filter with two settings enabling you to tailor output
to best match your taste.
But arguably the most important development is the introduction of an entirely
new in-house designed servo solution. Whereas many ‘comparable’ CD players utilise
an inferior CD/DVD-ROM derived drive, the 650C takes full advantage of Cambridge
Audio’s audio-only, CD transport which is coupled to our new highly sophisticated
S3 Custom CD ServoTM. This third generation audiophile servo employs an all-new
chipset and the latest double-sided surface-mount technology for ultra short
signal paths with freedom from wire links. The net result gives the 650C extraordinary
ability to retrieve maximum digital information whilst maintaining extremely
low jitter; the digital noise that affects your listening pleasure.
