I had an 840c which I traded to buy the DM+. Not an upward move, perhaps, but certainly not a downgrade, either.
The problem with the 840c was it simply didn't like the digital output from my AirPort Express....at all. No matter file type, complexity or anything, it would periodically lose lock and emit a fingernail on chalkboard screech for a couple seconds. CA issued a software update which I was simply 'chicken' to install. I couldn't imagine the cost to 'unbrick' my expensive player.....
Also, the CA840c used the SAME transport as the REST of the CA line, from the 300 series UP. This does not make me feel good. I mean, the MTBF for the hi-end players transport is the SAME as the one that has a street price of what.....250$ or so? I'm not impressed.
I suspect the defeatable upsampling feature comes in at a higher price point, no?
Too much is never enough
