Product Description

Product Description

The Azur 540D V2 is a new ground-up DVD player design from Cambridge Audio which embraces HDMI technology for outstanding picture quality and simplicity. The company's usual attention to audio reproduction ensures superb sound from music or video sources. The 540D uses a highly evolved DVD chipset and proprietary Phased Lock Loop (PLL) system which produces incredibly low jitter. Indeed the DAC specified and anti-aliasing filter circuits mean the 540D is also a true audiophile CD player while the HDMI output is capable of upscaling to 720p or 1080i. The 540D is a remarkable CD / DVD player at this price point.

3.0 out of 5 stars A pricey DVD player that looks less pricey in person., June 29, 2009

By	JJV "Vain Enthusiast" (New York City) - See all my reviews

I bought this to go with the Azur 540a Amplifier. They both look great from a distance, but fall short upon closer inspection. This DVD player has the same blue LED's as the rest of the Azur series, but the digital display in the center of the player uses a greener shade of blue. It's a minor flaw, but surprisingly annoying. The mismatching shades of blue make a rather pricey DVD player look rather un-pricey.

As for performance, it plays DVD's and CD's just fine, but no better than a player that costs half as much. I was willing to pay extra for what was supposed to be high quality build and aesthetics. It fell short on that, so I do not recommend the Azur 540d.
