Cambridge Audio CXC Series 2

 Cambridge has come out with the Series 2 CXC transport. Based upon a conversation I had with a dealer the only differences between it and the original model are a new faceplate and finish; there's no technology change.  Cost bumps up $150 for the cosmetics. If you have plans on buying the CXC the original version is on sale as I guess stock needs to be moved out.

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.

I have not made any improvements to my my CXC. Thanks for the suggestion. I am still in my 60 day trial period, and I keep going back and forth on whether or not to keep it. Part of it is just plain old vanity. I feel like I bought a Honda Accord, when I really wanted an Audi. The decision is to “soup up” my Accord, or just spend more money and get something higher up the food chain that satisfies my ego!!
