Cambridge Audio 840C


I just spoke to my dealer. He indicated that the player has had it's power supply and DACs upgraded and this is the reason for the recent price increase. Can anyone chime in on that? Has anyone heard this?

I have had an 840C for about years, and the DAC's in mine are the same ones specified for the player on the Cambridge website. I subscribe to Stereophile and didn't see a review on the 840C, nor is there any reference to such a review on the Cambridge webstie.
I appreciate your reply. The other important aspect mentioned to me was that the power supply was supposed to have been upgraded and is quieter now. And it was mentioned to me that this was a rolling change. So no change in the model number.

Bumping this back up. Hopefully someone can provide some more info on this subject. I figured I'd get more feed back on this because this is such a talked about player.
Perhaps Newbrook is thinking of Sam Telig's quasi review of the new Cambridge 650C? He actually was complementary of it given the asking price. I do not recall any reviews of the 840C in Stereophile. Sam Telig mentions it in his review of the Cambridge Audio DacMagic, but incorrectly states that the 840C shares Wolfson DACs with their DacMagic and 740C player. the 840C actually uses higher end Analog Devices DACs.

Absolute Sound on the other hand is quite fond of the 840C, giving it rave reviews and a best buy nod.
