Hi, How good is the DAC in the Cambridge Audio CXN V2 Streamer? compared to DAC at that price point? I'm thinking of running my DAB radio and CD player through a DAC as they have optical and coaxial outputs. Thanks N

Thanks for the suggestion Vincent

Hi, I would like to add a music streamer to my current setup composing of an Plinius 9200 amplifier, Pioneer PD-S703 CD player, PMC OB1i speakers. I currently use my phone to stream Spotify or Tidal through a bluetooth adaptor connected to my amp through a 3.5mm cable to phono. I feel the...

Hi I just sold my Mordaunt Short floorstanders. I need to replace them with something new that will be compatble with a Plinius 9200 amp connected via chord epic 2 speaker wires. I have been reading some forum rooms and the general advice is to go for Totem, Dynaudio, however this advice is...

The Marantz looks tempting, have to hear it first when the shops open

The Jamo are actually a 2.1 satellites and subwoofer which works well. So I won't be changing the speakers for now. I'll look into Denon mini components thank you for the suggestion

Hi all Hope you are all safe and well. Currently I have a Pioneer A400 amp and Jamo speaker setup with a Chord Mojo streaming music from my laptop. Unfortunately my amps volume control is going up the creek, I have tried cleaning it however no such luck! Can anyone recommend mini...

You right why I wouldn't even consider having the DSD option. That leave me with marantz and audio lab and others who do... thanks for your help

Ok thanks, so why do mamufacturers like Rega didn't include this feature in their latest dad-r? Is the format controlled via software decoding or hardware? if software do manufactures such as Rega send out updates for their Dac? thanks

Hi im looking and comparing dacs, and I wanted to know how popular the DSD format is? dacs I'm looking are the maranta, rega , and audiolab Thanks

Hi Thank you for the valuable advice. The pioneer is working perfectly fine to be honest. So it's time to grade the DAC. I want to use the DAC primarily for my CD player, however I also would like to use it for steaming live feeds from my PC and songs from my NAS etc. Budgets upto £500.00...

Hi Does using a CD player as an CD Transport play a important part? when you have an external DAC. The transport is only going to read the CD and transfer 1's and 0's to the DAC and the DAC will influence the sound. Right or Wrong? The reason I ask is i'm thinking of changing my Pioneer...
