I was thinking that but you look at the reviews and the 740C and 840C both get Best Buys from hi fi choice. Check this guy botting it | |

quote: Upsampling is a con and a gimick to be honest, why add information that isn't on the original source material? - you tend to end up with a sound that is artificial and over exaggerated at the top end. All you need out of a CD player is a decent transport and decent DACS (whether these be built into the CD Player, the amp or external eg - 'Cambridge Audio DAC Magic' etc). | |

I was gonna get the 740A. Essentially next model down (less power/inputs etc), but they had the 840A in for exactly the same price!! | |

I was playing with that that other day. I was very impressed with it. The CD player really made a difference though :) | |

My Dads got a Cambridge Audio cd player, not as good as the Marantz its replaced but still pretty decent. I hadn't heard of them before he got it but its pretty good. | |
