Cambridge Audio 840C

Stereophile has not reviewed the 840C. They already have enough Class A players listed for the moment. :-)

It now looks like the Sony XA5400ES has dethroned the Cambridge as the best digital source under $5k...

Nish,
everything is NOT the same since the player was introduced. I have the software update sitting right in front of me, lacking only the NERVE to plug the darn thing in for the update.
You'll need a Windows computer and a Null Modem Serial cable to DO the update, not to mention the nerve.

While I LOVE this player, the DAC section simply does NOT like poorly clocked signals.....Like my AirPort Express.
