Selling a matched pair of Cambridge Audio’s reference-level digital front end: the Azur 851N Network Player/Streamer and the Azur 851C Upsampling DAC + CD Player.
If you know these pieces, you already know what they are; serious audio gear, built like tanks, with performance that still punches far above anything near the price.
