how do the Cambridge Audio Dacmagics compare?


Hi,

I've been using a Cambridge Audio Dacmagic I bought way back in 2010.

 

Now looking to upgrade either to a network player / streamer, or still only a separate DAC (which is connected to an Intel NUC via USB).

 

At a high end shop I listened to an Arcam ST60 (not bad) and a Naim ND5 XS2 (pretty amazing, but also pretty expensive).

 

Are there people who did a similar upgrade, for example to a newer Dacmagic, and can share their experiences?

 

Also considering the Cambridge Audio CXN V2, for example.

 

Many thanks 😀
