Cambridge Audio CXC Series 2

I have yet to meet the piece of gear whose performance isn’t enhanced by a good power cable.

It already got a good linear supply in it, no smp noisy junk.

No doubt. When you open up the CXC, it’s got some very respectable internal components.

Is this a quirk of the CXC V1 or is this just my unit? When using the remote and say track #4 is playing, when I push the previous track button track #3 starts.  Most players would restart at #4.

You know, if they would've added an II2S output I might've said OK I'll upgrade, but now, no.  I notice that my CXC V1 needs to be fed fairly pristine CD's otherwise it behaves badly.  I had an Oppo UDP-103 and the CXC actually sounds better to me, but I was going through the Oppo DAC and didn't try it as strictly a transport, so I have no real comparison (except that the Oppo would play SACD's and was much more forgiving with scratched/scuffed CD's).

It’s not a quirk. Mine does it too. I’ve actually come to love it. You always know with 100% certainty what track you’re cuing up. No more “Well, a second or two played, will the back button take me to the start of the track or the previous track? Shoot, that’s not what I wanted.” ...Press more buttons...
