After years of listening to CDs, some audio friends pushed me to try streaming, so with a bit of reviewing, I purchased a refurbished Cambridge Audio CXN V2 in May as my “gateway” into streaming. While it fits my entry level mindset, it allows some flex to stream from my laptop (a handful of DSD64 files), plug in external drives via USB, can leverage its DAC or leverage an external
DAC. I quickly A/B’d the internal DAC vs a coax out to my Esoteric SACD player, which allowed me to leverage it as a DAC. The Esoteric won out.
