Cambridge Audio - Azur 640H Music Server
(with AudioFile technology)

The Azur 640H music server is an audiophile quality hard-disk server which incorporates the high-quality CD player from the Azur 640C and allows you to load your entire music collection onto the 160GB hard drive.

Built on Cambridge Audio's proprietary AudioFile technology , the Azur 640H music server can access music stored on any PC or Mac when used with a wireless or wired network. Multiple Azur 640H music servers can even be linked so that content on each can be seamlessly accessed by each other. You can even use its wireless capability to effortlessly create a multi-room hi-fi system.

The Azur 640H music server can download songs from internet services, transfer music to and from hard disk portables or stream directly via the Internet, for example playing one of the thousands of net radio stations. When connected to a broadband network, the Azur 640H music server instantly retrieves artist, album and track information using an advanced web-based look-up system.

The Azur 640H music server has been carefully designed to keep audio electronics completely separate from higher noise electronics such as power supplies. This enables the Azur 640H to deliver infinitely superior audio output.

Like the multi-award-winning 640C, the 640H music server features a Wolfson chip and filter for huge dynamic range, clarity and low distortion. An audiophile toroidal oversize transformer is used where most competitors use a PC power supply.

And, like the rest of the Azur range, the Cambridge Audio 640H Music server employs a specially designed low resonance, acoustically damped chassis which takes in a thick aluminium front panel for ultimate rigidity. Available in black or silver, the 640H also features a full function bespoke remote control with hot keys and alphanumeric keys to enable you to search your music collection alphabetically - either by album, track or genre.

The slim, high-class design of the F102/F103 series front panel is inherited from Denon's "AE Series" of Hi-Fi audio components. The refined finish featuring aluminium front panel, volume knob, and power button is uniform throughout the series, enhancing the components' sense of presence as a quality Hi-Fi audio system.

The CHR-F103 lets you store as many as 10,000 songs from your CD collection onto its built-in hard disk. It also lets you easily organize all those songs into play lists which you can then play back. Since the CHR-F103 supports the Gracenote? database and can be connected to the Internet via Ethernet cable, when you record a CD, it will automatically access the database for information on that CD including artist names, albums, and track titles. You can check this information on the display while organizing play lists or playing songs, and it also lets you quickly find songs you want to hear. When the CHR-F103 is connected to the Internet, you can even tune in to Internet radio stations throughout the world to enjoy Internet radio broadcasts as well
