Like its bigger brothers in the Cambridge Audio Azur product line of CD players, the Azur 340C delivers class-leading performance. But this time Cambridge Audio delivers the quality you expect at an even more competitive price point that will definitely surprise you. The elegant design of the 340C uses proven high-quality Sony laser optics and the same Cambridge Audio servo circuitry as found in the award-winning, higher-price Azur 540C and 640C players. Digital to analog (DAC) conversion comes courtesy of respected chipset manufacturer Crystal. Its CS4338 24-bit / 96 kHz DAC is coupled to an audio-grade operational amp buffer stage. Add in the extremely high quality power supply, and the 340C delivers incredibly low levels of distortion of only 0.006%. An excellent signal-to-noise ratio, 92 dB dynamic range, and very low jitter of less than 300pS add up to one impressive set of specifications. This means you get a wonderful performance, whatever disc you spin. The chassis of the 340C guarantees minimal resonance, ensuring ultimate sonic performance. Such solid construction is enhanced by a solid aluminum front panel that is also striking to look at. As with the other Azur units, the stylish casework is available in black or silver. If sonic excellence alone isn't enough, the highly specified 340C offers both optical and coaxial digital outputs, along with a stunning aluminum-faced Azur remote control. This remote provides full function-control of the 340C and any of the complementing Azur amplifiers.
