Solo streamer

I have 2 Cambridge units. OneI use as a transport into my external DAC, a Bryston DAC3. The other sits in a midfi system and I use the internal DAC.

Obviously I ‘m a CA fan, and @oddiofyi suggestion is the way I would go,.  OP has stated in the past that enjoys his CA streamer, so I’m not sure why he has now become dissatisfied , but if he is using the internal DAC I think he should notice an improvement with using a better external DAC

I’m very happy with my Aurender N200. There’s no internal storage unless you add it. No upsampling. Has critical listening mode that turns off non essential features including screen. Solid performer. Optimized for USB interface.

Thank you for all your recommendations.

Been down the same road. Started with Cambridge Azur 851N, the big brother of your CXN V2, and found the SQ lacking over time. Moved to Lumin, but didn't care for sound presentation or control app. Next was entry-level Aurender (now discontinued) which was an improvement but still inferior to the best CD and LP recordings. So when the Aurender N200 appeared, I ordered it instantly and have found it transformative when paired with DAC of equivalent quality. Can't speak for Innuos (dislike their cosmetics anyhow), but do know you will never regret moving to the N200, which is a huge qualitative leap over your present mid-fi, all-in-one piece.
