£799

To improve on something that’s already pretty good, there’s no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater or heavy-handedly redesign it from the ground up. Sometimes all you need is a light touch. That’s what Cambridge Audio did with the second iteration of its CXN streamer which launched back in 2018 as an update to the Award-winner we first reviewed all the way back in 2015.

Now, alongside Tidal Connect and Spotify Connect, you can also stream music via Google’s Chromecast on the Cambridge Audio CXN (V2). With new features being continually added but still delivering a terrific performance for this mid-range price, it’s no wonder that this CXN (V2) network streamer remains a multiple What Hi-Fi? Award-winner since its launch.
