Cambridge Audio Azur 650R

This Cambridge Audio amplifier fully supports Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD, and the excellent lossless formats Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio. This performance is made possible by Cirrus Logic/Crystal’s new 32-bit dual-core DSPs.

The 650R can transcode analog video inputs to HDMI for simple installation: a single HDMI cable connected to your television is all you need for all your video sources!
