Bluesound Node 2021 vs Cambridge CXN v2 sonically worth the price difference ?


My Oppo Sonica dac  maybe be toast. It won’t run through the program and locate the streamer despite rebooting etc. I think it’s a part that needs to be replaced, this happened before. 
I stream Tidal Hi-Fi only. I have a set 45 amp and Omega 3xrs. What other units  should I consider ? I have ptsd around connectivity based on the Oppo.

your thoughts are appreciated.

Thankyou Soix. I have that and unit and the zen aurylic on the list . I heard the Altair is very good but out of my price range . I’m heading to expona so hopefully I can hear them in a system, but it won’t be mine. I can get opinions . 

i think it is very very hard, well nigh impossible, to evaluate how a streamer sounds at a hifi show

lets say you hear a node playing in a bad sounding room

then a cxn v2 being used in a nice sounding room

is this sufficiently convincing to cross the node off the list and buy a cxn?  i would not, could not...
