As with
previous Azur CD players, the 540C V2.0 make use of a custom Cambridge Audio
servo solution and transport, at the heart of which is a VLSI (Very Large Scale
Integration) circuit which dynamically adjusts in real time the focusing,
tracking and output level of the laser for the maximum retrieval of digital
information. To ensure the very best performance there are also multiple
separate power supplies for the D/A converter circuitry, audio filters, clocks
and other stages, as well as extensive use of low impedance film capacitors.
For the
Version 2 models, we have significantly upgraded and improved the Digital to
Analog stages as well as the anti-aliasing filters for even better sound
quality and have added features that allow these products to be used in Custom
Install applications. All this proprietary engineering is housed within our low
resonance, acoustically damped chassis. An Azur Navigator remote control is
also provided, giving full remote control of your CD player in an attractive
and easy to use handset.
About the
540C V2.0
The 540C
V2.0 now employs a WM8740 24 bit/192 kHz capable Digital to Analog converter
from Wolfson Microelectronics. This very high quality part is coupled to a new
three pole Double Virtual Earth Balanced filter design for very low noise and
distortion. A new toroidal transformer is now fitted giving lower noise and
less waveform distortion, for quieter PSU operation. Finally, to allow seamless
integration with multi-room entertainment systems, a Control Bus input and
output have been fitted, as has an IR emitter input.
Cambridge
540C v2 - five star CD player
The Azur 540
C boasts performance, build quality and a specification to embarrass not just
its immediate rivals, but many CD players costing at least twice the price.
New features
include an upgraded DAC abd Control Bus connections for easier

Electronics
sit on a low resonance, acoustically damped chassis and like all Azur products,
the 540C is housed within a solid aluminium fronted case.
