I had a Cambridge CXN100 and exchanged it for an Aurender a1000. The CXN is supposed to be slightly better than the CVN v2. To my ears, the CXN100 is better than the Eversolo A6 I had before it, but the Aurender is quite a step up from the CXN. In the 1k price range, I'd definitely go for the CXN. If you are ok spending the money to go to a Lumin or Aurender, yes, I think you will hear a difference, but it won't be enormous. Think 10-15% better.
I too started with the CVN V2....the jump in everything when i moved on to the to the Lumin P1 was substantial and true to what i was told it would be but then also equally impressive was going from the Lumin P1 to the Rose 130 (fiber in) to the MMT. Your CVN v2 will never be missed or thought of again if you move up the food chain. |
@ejlif Same here - couldn’t be happier after recently replacing my Lumin P1 with the Rose 130 and MM Tambaqui. |
I own the hifi rose RS130 and I love it. I can't say I've gone to great lengths to compare the sound vs the DCS Rossini, Grimm MU1 or Auralic G1 or Bluesound Node that I've owned as well as others but in use I have enjoyed it most. It's built like a tank and has a huge screen that is nice and nice to have it right there see what is up and playing can even has touch controls right on the screen. It never hiccups or acts glitchy, it's top notch product and I really enjoy it. |

If your DAC is a good one probably little sounic differances. but the bigger question is which do you prefer the looks of and interface/App for. That in the end is the most important thing for long term enjoyment. once the DAC is sufficently good the streamer becomes less important from my experiance. |
