cambridge audio BD651

[admin_exported]

I see that cambridge audio have now released the new BD651 as a replacement for the 650. The specs look pretty decent (similar to the oppo 93 i guess). Has anyone had a chance to try this out and see how it compares to other at this price point.

when will what hi fi be reviewing it?

when will what hi fi be reviewing it?

As soon as it's available, which – as Andy Clough reported in his Behind the Scenes blog piece – is 'sometime before Christmas'. As yet we don't have a more precise ETA than that.

thanks for the reply - but the new player is on the richer sounds website at the moment, and according to the store, is now available to buy.

Well, that's the information AC was given – will have to seek clarification on Tuesday, as I don't think Audio Partnership's offices work weekends. Unlike us 😉 .

Do we know if they'll be region-free in the DVD department again? I couldn't see anything on the Richer Sounds website.

We'll test out the multi-region capabilities when we receive our review sample of the Cambridge Audio 651BD, which is set to arrive in our test rooms this week... Review will appear in the First Test section of our Awards issue, out next month.

Clare,

is it freely available online the review of the multi-region capabilities that you mention in your message ?

The multiregion capabilities of its predecessor is mentioned here.
