Christian

I've been using this Cambridge streamer for 2 years and I'm really satisfied with it.
At first I had a few difficulties, but once you understand how it works, it's a great device.
I had it connected over Wi‑Fi and then via Ethernet, and everything works very well. Icing on the cake, the little display is very nice.

Cela fait 2 ans que j'utilise ce steamer de Cambridge et j'en suis vraiment satisfait.
Au début j'ai eu quelques difficultés mais une fois que l'on a compris son fonctionnement c'est un bel appareil.
Je l'avais connecté en wifi puis en filaire et tout fonctionne très bien. Cerise sur le gâteau, le petit écran est très sympa

Hello,

Very good quality for the price. I discovered the Cambridge Audio brand at the Laviédo Hi-Fi show and I’m won over by this brand.

Quality streamer/DAC, perfectly meets my needs. It’s connected to a NAD C355BEE, which powers a pair of Davis Vinci 2 speakers.

Altogether, it gives me a quality Hi-Fi setup for a reasonable price (I mainly use Qobuz and a few radio stations on the CXN V2). It also allows me to connect my PS5 to my amp, which is old-school!

Bonjour,
De très bonne qualité pour le prix. J'ai découvert la marque cambridge audio au salon de laviédo hifi et je suis conquis par cette marque.
Streamer/Dac de qualité, répond parfaitement à mes besoins. Il est relié à un NAD C355BEE qui alimente une paire de Davis Vinci 2.
Le tout me fait un ensemble Hifi de qualité pour un prix raisonnable (j'utilise principalement qobuz et quelques radio sur le CXN V2). Il me permet aussi de relier ma PS5 à mon ampli qui est oldschool?

Just one surprising word, connected to a Nuprime power amp and Klipsch RP8000f speakers... the sound is more than satisfying.

Unbeatable value for money.
