Welcome I had a Stream Magic 6 v2 it was superb, sold it as I was snobbish about CA, bought a Linn Majik DS not as good! Waiting for the Cambridge CXN to launch I will be buying one the improvement in sound was marked. I would imagine the 851 even better. One thing that put me off CA is the forward support of software upgrades. The up sampling with Spotify for me was amazing.

Only just seen your other thread!

Of the info I can obtain the CXN is due to Richer Sounds the only retailer of CA in UK in late March they don't presently have the 851N either so I guess not released yet.

Thanks, waiting to hear back from the tech support as I have asked them to give me their views on a comparrison in sounds SM6 VS the 851N with no solid reply. I'd hate to get the 851N only to hear no improvements?? I do have nice power and great speakers, so if the sound will improve with this move, I am anxious to make the move......sounds like a whole lotta moving, am I right???*biggrin*

I certainly would not get the SM6 as the CXN is out soon Colour screen SM6 M/B with updated analouge stage looks stumnning. A whole lotta moving? not sure what you mean!

Quick update, I was able to order a Cambridge CXN at £699 no date for stock though, they have placed orders for 120 units over 50 shops. So must be iminate.
