What is the Cambridge Audio Azur 851N?
The Cambridge Audio 851N is the British company’s top-of-the-line network music streamer and digital pre-amp, sitting alongside the rest of the impressive Azur lineup. It’s at a price point that might surprise you if you haven’t kept up with Cambridge Audio over the past few years, taking aim at the hi-fi high-end rather than at first-time visitors to Richer Sounds.
The brand has always tried to over-deliver in the past, and despite this step up in cost, there’s been that same effort to go beyond the call of duty. Aside from a lack of Bluetooth, there’s very little the 851N can’t handle – nor do well.
