Cambridge Audio 840c DAC

Wow! That DAC looks like a GREAT bargain.

Freckling,
I did see the DAC upon further looking. Looks interesting

Thanks for the info

Hi,

I'm contemplating doing what you're doing--Sonos from a NAS streaming lossless into the dac input on an 840C. Could I ask what your thoughts are regarding the sound quality vs. the 840C playing CDs?
Thanks, and nice sys!

I am currently using Apple lossless files with Sonos system with a direct digital coax into 840C. I have done many A/B comparisons and have only noticed difference between files with a lower rate 192khz. If you are happy with the 840c sound as a cd player you will be pleased at its ability as a stand alone DAC. With all the great reviews and versatility of this player its surprising more people are not taking advantage of this player as a dac. Have fun with the sonos its allowed me to listen too stuff that I hadnt dusted off in years.

I just hooked up the Wadia 170 Ipod dock to my 840C, and it sounds incredible. I am actually a bit shocked how good the Ipod sounds as a transport.
