Cambridge Audio Azur 851C is a High-Tech CD player, digital converter and digital preamplifier.

Through the asynchronous USB connection you can listen to music from your MAC / PC with the highest quality, as the Azur 851C excludes the sound card of your computers. In the same way you can listen to streaming services and internet radio.
Equipped with two twin Analog Devices 1995 DACs in "double differential" mode to get the most from digital to analog conversion.

With a very robust metal cabinet, the Cambridge Azur 851C minimizes vibrations to deliver optimal sound. Balanced XLR connections for connections with high-end amplifiers such as the Azur 851A.

Finally, the presence of three selectable filters (linear, minimum and steep) must be underlined to select the sound that best suits you.
