Cambridge Audio Azur 751BD

With stunning build quality and performance, Cambridge Audio's first 3D Blu-ray deck easily justifies its hefty price tag

Near flawless picture and sound ; Excellent build quality ; Media streaming and extensive format support

Expensive ; Poor web content ; Remote needs tweaking

All things considered, Cambridge Audio has done a top-notch job with the 751BD. It’s a fantastic Blu-ray player, boasting sublime, rigid build quality that lays the groundwork for a sensational picture and sound performance. There’s also a generous...

Cambridge Audio Azur 751BD review

This universal player is a great upgrade option for those making the next step up from a budget model

Very good 2D/3D Blu-ray pictures ; fine DVD upscaling ; authoritative sound ; solid specification including two HDMI outputs

Appearance is a tad ordinary ; bass can sound overbearing

For those looking to leap from a budget Blu-ray deck to the next level, the 751BD is a great option

Cambridge Audio 751BD review

If I were building a Blu-ray player, I suspect it would look a lot like Cambridge Audio's Azur 751BD. It would be 3D compatible (just in case), offer network media streaming for sound and vision (because frankly that's essential) and it would be...

Excellent hi-def video performance; reference-grade audio; comprehensive media file support

Lacklustre net-connected content; remote isn’t backlit

Cambridge Audio Azur 751BD review

Is the Cambridge Audio Azur 751BD an audiophile-grade CD player that's capable of spinning Blu-rays or vice versa? Frankly, it's difficult to tell. The 751BD may be an all-singing, all-dancing 3D Blu-ray player on the outside, but it has musical DNA,...

Superb audiovisual performance; Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio support; solid media-streaming capability.

No significant online content; remote control lacks backlighting; pricey.

The Cambridge Audio Azur 751BD is a 3D-ready Blu-ray player aimed at audiophiles. It sounds heavenly with pretty much any disc you feed it, but also delivers fabulous hi-def video and can stream almost every type of media via a LAN or USB. It's...

Cambridge Audio 751BD

Not every Blu-ray player in our test comes with internal storage for you to stash your media one, but the Cambridge Audio 751BD does. It also does double duty playing 3D Blu-rays, and its surround sound is superb. Of course, at a cool £800, this is not...

Cambridge Audio Azur 751BD 3D Blu-ray player

Anglophile audiophile attraction

Overall, there’s no question that the Cambridge Audio Azur 751BD is a top-flight entertainer with a price to match. It’s on-line connectivity will pull in BD-Live content when required and play nice with media either on a drive or a Nas server. Some...

Cambridge Audio 751BD Universal 3D Blu-ray Player Preview

We're sure the Cambridge Audio 751BD Universal 3D Blu-ray player is going to find an audience. Compared to some of the "high end" players that have hit the market, the 751BD is a solid offering.

We're sure this player is going to find an audience. While it does share some technology with players less than half its MSRP, there do seem to be plenty of upgrades (mostly on the audio, chassis, and power supply side) from the competition. The price...

Cambridge Audio Azur 751BD Blu-ray Universal Player Reviewed

While Oppo's players are the talk of the town when it comes to universal players, Andrew Robinson believes that the Cambridge Audio Azur 751 BD Blu-ray player more than gives Oppo a run for its money.

I'll get right to it: the Cambridge Audio Azur 751BD Blu-ray Universal Disc Player is brilliant. Even though its retail price of $1,249 may seem a bit high, in my eyes, it is worth every penny, for I don't view the 751BD's asking price as anything...

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Excellent Universal Disk player, Network Player, USB and External Hard Drive Player all in one box.

Earlier this year I decided to update to BluRay and was also in the process of adding Network Streaming capabilities to the HT/Hifi system. I prefer not to have too many separate boxes in the system, so decided to look at BluRay players that would...

Build quality. Sound and Picture quality. Dedicated Stereo output. Fast Disk loading. Good On-screen menu navigation.

Remote Control not easy to use. RRP is a little expensive.
