The new Cambridge Audio Azur line is excellent. It carries the same new Wolfson DACs that Arcam carries(bout time). Dynamics is excellent and have a wide soundstage. They definitely are in the $420-$450 USD range.
I currently have the Cambridge Audio Azur 640c.

They sound way better than the 500...more detail and don't sound harsh right out of the box like the 500. I played it side by side with a Rega Planet 2000 and could not tell a difference.
