Cambridge Audio 840c DAC

I have an 840c, and the same question occurred to me!
I will be experimenting on my 1st day off.
Here is the proposed signal chain.
Computer w/spdif out. No special soundcard, unless this works out.
Winamp, the freebie version recording and playing back as FLAC........

So far, so good with the Cambridge, though i have been 'dissed' by the Rega Apollo crowd.

You can PM me and we can swap lies. Give me a week or so to figure this out.....maybe longer. On the table are the quality of my D/D conversion in the computer and any special cabling needs.
I understand the coaxial is 75 ohms, but I have not heard of a 75 ohm RCA connector, if such exists.

Stay in touch................

How's this experiment going? I am thinking of getting the 840c to use as a CD and a DAC for my SB duet.

I have a sonos system on delivery and will be testing shortly I will give you an update on the DAC. I am very pleased with the cd playback it has a very smooth yet detailed sound. I have also used the cd player in my last system with a Vincent Audio Sp-331 amplifier, Revel F-32 Performa speakers and Parasound New Classic 2100 preamp. It also performed well in that system and, as you see the Cambridge cd player is the only component that I held on to. I also have owned the Cambridge Audio 640v2 cd player. Great value but is no comparison to the 840c.
