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.
AudioFile technology:
AudioFile is a suite of proprietary embedded software developed to manage storage, transfer and playback of music in a real hi-fi environment.
What does AudioFile offer me over a CD player?
- Rip your entire music collection to the 160GB hard drive
- Burn content to CD-R/CD-RW
- Share and stream music from your PC or Mac
- Wireless capability to effortlessly create a multi-room hi-fi system
- Simple on-screen user interface
- and... An audiophile quality CD player
AudioFile technology leverages Cambridge Audio’s expertise in delivering superior hi-fi quality output, storing content in an innovative way to optimise the delivery of content. Unlike a PC or widely available music streamers, AudioFile is designed as a hi-fi separate and offers instant start-up and shut-down. It uses an audiophile grade DAC (digital to analogue converter) not a soundcard to infinitely superior effect.
Scalable as your music collection grows
AudioFile technology allows you to connect two or more AudioFile powered units together for increased hard drive space. Content from one unit can then be seamlessly accessed by another, either wirelessly using approved wireless adaptors or via a wired network.
Hugely versatile
AudioFile technology allows you to connect with and access music held on your PC or Mac, burn CD-Rs with your favourite playlists and even connect an MP3 player to upload or download music.
Internet radio
AudioFile technology includes an on-board Internet radio function and a broadband connection providing streamed audio and access to thousands of internet radio stations across the globe.
And all from the comfort of your armchair
AudioFile technology provides full system control using the clear LCD display or AudioFile’s comprehensive on-screen display through your TV using the remote control provided. AudioFile’s web-based lookup feature means you can automatically assign artist, album and track information to your entire collection.
