This sounds like it might be the timeframe for the Saturn. The Cambridge website doesn't have any info on the 740c or 840c but does have info on the 640c v.2. I believe one difference between the 640c and 840c is that the 640c uses dual Wolfson wm8740 dacs and the 840c uses dual AD dacs. The dac in the Apollo is the same as the 640c. I've never dealt with AVH Hifi, but I question the accuracy of a price, below sugg. retail on a cdp that the manufacturers website doesn't even have any information. From what I've read they didn't have an operational 840c at CES.

Having been in contact with both Cambridge Audio and their local representative, there is no 740c coming out right now, just the 840c (which was originally supposed to be the 740c, before they decided to up the price?)
The Cambridge products tend to come out with a certain amount of hype, at least in Europe, so I really doubt that there would be any 840cs available at the moment - pre-order maybe? As for in the next few months... let's hope so.
