New Cambridge Audio 840C Azur CD Player

[Peter]

I would be interested in comments regarding the following information copied
directly from the Cambridge Audio website:-

The 840C embraces a raft of proprietary technologies including ATFT
(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.

Has anyone perhaps auditioned this brand new CD player, and if so, what were
the results?

Check out the recent edition of The Perfect Vision, sister publication of The
Absolute
Sound, for a review. They give it mighty high praise for sound quality and
packing
high-tech componentry at a relatively modest price.
