Cambridge Audio AXN10 experiences

Good day, has anyone had experience with the aforementioned?  I’m looking to upgrade from an older Bluesound Node for under $1000. The reviews I’ve read kind of rave about the performance/value ratio, but I’m wondering how much of an upgrade it will be. I plan to use an outboard DAC (Schiit Gungnir Multibit), so I’m not too concerned about the DAC in the Cambridge, but you never know.  I routinely switch between the Gumby and the DAC in my Yamaha CD S-2100 SCAD (ESS ES9016 chip, but the Cambridge has a newer chip). Any thoughts about alternatives under $1000 more than welcome, I have no opposition to used market. 
Much thanks in advance, 

Dave

Mahler123, thanks for the response. The areas where I’m looking for improvement are the user interface and SQ. CA’s Stream magic app gets routine praise as one of the most user friendly, and in looking at forum posts and reviews I’m believing that a streamer can offer SQ improvements beyond the DAC that it comes with. I’m not really familiar with Comcast Chrome, but from what I’m gathering, it might be very handy to have.

I'm very happy with the Cambridge CXN V2, and it's being closed out at some great prices. I was especially surprised how good it's internal DAC is...and it's new replacement, the CXN100 is close to your price point...
