Don Richard Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Has anyone had any experience with this CD player? I'm interested in knowing how it performs when using it as a DAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nu2toobs Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I have a 640c that is the best cd player I've ever owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I have heard the 840c and it sounded wonderful...I preferred it to either of my 640cs (both a v1 and v2)...good luck... Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbsl Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I've heard the 840c with La Scala IIs that sounded very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emdeebee Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I've got an 840C, and overall I'm pretty pleased with it. Mine has been a little finicky though. It will occasionally give the "No Play" read out when a cd is inserted, and I'll have to open and close the tray, sometimes two or three times, to get the player to recognize the disc. This seems to happen more often to older discs, though it even happens with new discs, and all my discs are clean and I'm fanatical about their care and feeding![] So this is a puzzle to me. Aside from this quirk, which may be unique to my player, I can recommend the 840C. However, It's a distant 2nd place for me, to my Rega Saturn. I totally love the Saturn, and it's a flawless performer! Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Richard Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Thanks for the info. I'm still looking to buy a CD player/DAC and this one is at the top of the list. Nice to hear that Cambridge is well liked by owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I use my 840c as the DAC for my Sonos. I am very very pleased. I also use it for the few cds that havent been ripped and FLACed to the NAS. You can switch between the source > dac and the cd with a one button. Peace, TommyK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
