Cambridge Audio CXC Series 2

back to the price for the original CXC...thanks, was wondering if there was an internal upgrade, quite happy with my CXC

Thank you so much for posting this.  It gave me the push to buy the original CXC, and I am thrilled with the improvement over using a DVD player for a transport!  Many thanks, Ken

was wondering if there was an internal upgrade, quite happy with my CXC

I believe it’s just cosmetics. Nothing wrong with the look of the old one, the only thing I didn’t like was the supplied universal remote for all their products, all the buttons I wanted were at the bottom, makes it difficult to hold and press buttons at the same time using one hand. Maybe they fixed that, and gave a dedicated CD remote.

Cheers George

I recently bought the original CXC, like the silver finish and the price I paid. The remote is no bother to me, the CD functions are all at the bottom.  Audio Advisor is selling the original at $399. I am not in a position to compare to other CD transports, however think it to be a very high value product at it price point.

I feel like I’m missing something, I have had my CXC for a week. I’m not loving it. My Node2 streamer sounds so much better, I know it’s not apples to apples, but it’s not even close. I have a ton of cd’s and really wanted a nice transport to go with my Peachtree Audio Nova 150. I have a modest system compared to some. I swapped cables (coax and toslink) between the two to make sure it was as fair of a comparison as possible. I’m not done comparing yet, but I am 
disappointed so far. I bought from Crutchfield so I have a 60 day trial period, so I’ll keep it for awhile. At this point I am leaning toward returning. It.
